Infighting Clouds Palestinian Authority's Future
(AP-ABC News) Mohammed Daraghmeh - Fierce shootouts between Palestinian security forces and Fatah-aligned gunmen have erupted in recent months at the Balata refugee camp near Nablus in the West Bank. Much of the violence is directed at a Fatah leadership seen as corrupt and out of touch. "I no longer want to fight Israel. I'm not willing to die for these officials who are only taking care of their families and letting us suffer," said Hatem Abu Riziq, 30, who spent 7 years in an Israeli prison for assisting in a suicide bombing. The internal violence has left about a dozen Palestinians dead this year.
