| Hamas threatens PA officials in W. Bank |
| 2008-07-31 |
| Palestinian Authority security forces were put on high alert Wednesday following threats by Hamas against its senior officials, PA security sources told The Jerusalem Post. The PA leadership was taking Hamas's threats seriously and had ordered its security forces to be prepared to foil any attempt to harm PA figures, the sources said. Additional bodyguards have been assigned to a number of top PA officials in the West Bank, and security had been beefed up around the homes of PA President Mahmoud Abbas and other senior officials in Ramallah, the sources said. Leaflets distributed over the past few days by Hamas's armed wing, Izzadin Kassam, threatened to target top Palestinian leaders in the West Bank for "collaborating with Israel." The leaflets specifically referred to Abbas, PA Prime Minister Salaam Fayad, PLO executive committee member Yasser Abed Rabbo and top Fatah officials Azzam al-Ahmed and Ahmed Abdel Rahman, as well as Tayeb Abdel Rahim, a senior adviser to Abbas. |
