[Jerusalem Post] Khaled Abu Toameh - Hamas officials over the weekend accused the PA security forces in the West Bank of stepping up their arrests of Hamas supporters in the Hebron area, which has long been a Hamas stronghold. Sources in Hebron said PA policemen raided several Hamas-run mosques and confiscated "inflammatory" material and megaphones. Among those taken into custody are imams, university students, teachers and political activists. Abu Obaidah, spokesman for Hamas' armed wing, Izzadin Kassam, said, "Abbas' policemen are traitors. They have become Zionists because they are openly targeting the Palestinian resistance groups."
