Violence Spreads Against the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank
(Asharq Al-Awsat) Angry Palestinians closed several main roads in Jenin in the West Bank on Sunday and attacked Palestinian security vehicles in protest against the killing of a student by his colleagues at the Arab American University in the city. Marwan Khalilieh, a relative of the victim, said: "Killing has become a normal thing. Everyone dares to kill because there is no real punishment or deterrent." Palestinian police spokesman Col. Louay Erzeigat said the failure to take decisive judicial measures against anyone who commits a crime in Palestinian society contributed to the increase of violence.
