Palestinian Journalists Receive Death Threats
(Jerusalem Post)Khaled Abu Toameh - Palestinian journalists covering the ongoing PA crisis complained over the weekend that they had received death threats from the various feuding parties. As a result, many of them said they have stopped covering the internecine fighting. "We were told that any journalist who goes to the rally [in Gaza City last week against Arafat's decision to appoint his cousin, Musa Arafat, as overall commander of the security forces] will meet the same fate as Nabil Amr," said a journalist who works with an international news organization. Amr, a Palestinian legislator, was shot and severely wounded in Ramallah last week after he called for reforms.
