Palestinian militants threaten violence if disarmed
Does that headline make any sense? Didn't think so...The two largest Palestinian militant groups have warned they will resume their attacks on Israel if the Palestinian Authority tries to disarm them. The militant Palestinian movements Hamas and Islamic Jihad say they will resume attacks against Israelis if the Palestinian Authority attempts to confiscate their weapons. Israel is demanding the disarming of the groups if the peace process is to move forward. Meanwhile, Israeli security forces are sweeping through the West Bank town of Ramallah where they believe an Israeli cab driver is being held. The 61-year-old's taxi was found abandoned near the town, and they suspect Palestinian militants of kidnapping him. Palestinian security forces are helping Israeli authorities in their search for the man. Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2003-07-14 |
