(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel - Wanted Palestinian terrorists in the Casbah area of Nablus have lately imposed their own curfew, shooting at any person moving in the area whom they don't recognize as someone they trust. Military sources say that a Palestinian man was shot dead by armed Palestinians in the Casbah last week because he was suspected of being an Israeli soldier. Many members of Hamas and Tanzim are in the Casbah area, and at night as many as 100 people are deployed as sentries. The army has allowed the blue-uniformed civilian Palestinian police to resume operations in the center of West Bank cities under Israeli control. Traffic police have been allowed to partially resume working in Ramallah and Kalkilya - in uniform but without weapons.
