PA Security Forces on Verge of Collapse
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - PA security forces are on the verge of collapse because of rampant corruption and growing anarchy, according to a letter sent by a large group of PA security officers to PA Chairman Abbas. The letter contradicts claims by Abbas that he has taken practical steps to reform the security forces. "We urge you to get acquainted with what's really happening inside the security forces, which have begun disintegrating because of corruption, mismanagement, and placing private interests above the national interests of the people, especially with regard to the state of lawlessness prevalent in the Palestinian territories," the officers said. In another challenge to Abbas, some of the PA's ambassadors overseas are refusing to give up their posts to newly appointed envoys.
