Palestinian Sources: Dahlan Offering Weapons Buyback from Al Aksa Brigades
(AP/Jerusalem Post) Palestinian security chief Mohammed Dahlan on Friday offered to buy illegal weapons carried by members of the Al Aksa Martyrs' Brigades, a militia linked to Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement, according to several Palestinian officials and militia members. The buyback was to start in the coming days, they said. Dahlan has received money from the U.S., Britain, and other European countries to buy the weapons, the officials said. An Al Aksa leader said Dahlan is offering US$6,000 - more than twice the black market value - for each rifle, while officials gave lower figures. Dahlan also offered a signup bonus of at least US$6,000 to Al Aksa members who leave the militia and join the security forces, militiamen said.
