Terror Groups Warn PA Not to Interfere with Attacks
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh and Lamia Lahoud - Palestinian terror groups associated with Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and Fatah issued a stern warning on Wednesday to the Palestinian Authority not to try to stop them from continuing attacks. In the past 18 months, members of the three groups jointly carried out a number of terrorist attacks against targets both inside and outside the Green Line. According to PA security sources, Islamic Jihad, which receives support from Iran, has been paying stipends of $200-$300 per month to gunmen from Fatah's Aksa Martyrs Brigades. Growing isolation, assassinations of Fatah operatives, and a lack of funds from the Fatah movement have led to a growing number of dissident Fatah cells that cooperate with other factions, especially Islamic Jihad.
