Militants arrested at Arafat headquarters
Palestinian security forces have arrested about 20 wanted militants sheltering in the Ramallah compound of Palestinian President Yasser Arafat. The arrests were made in line with an agreement with the United States and Israel. Moving into Yasser Arafat's battered compound, Palestinian security forces rounded up about 20 wanted Palestinians, most of them members of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades. A senior Palestinian official says the raid was part of a deal with the United States and Israel, and the arrested men will now be transferred to Palestinian jails in Jericho and the Gaza Strip.
I'm sure their jug time isn't going to be extensive, but it shows that Abbas and Dahlan are smart enough to realize that the road map is pretty much a last chance thing. If it doesn't work, the Paleostine idea isn't going to work and the world's going to have to move on to something else. They're not going to get a better deal than the road map.
Israel has long accused Yasser Arafat of harbouring wanted militants in his Ramallah headquarters.

Followup:
FoxNews sez they're holed up in a room in Yasser's house and refuse to go. Yasser must have told them they don't have to if they don't want to.
