| A commander who has quarreled with Yasser Arafat may be tapped to head all of the Palestinian security forces as incoming premier Mohammed Abbas starts to assemble his Cabinet, officials say. Palestinian sources speaking on condition of anonymity said Abbas met with Mohammed Dahlan, the former Gaza security chief, and is considering naming him Interior Minister. Abbas, picked as premier after Arafat gave in to intense international and local pressure to reform his regime, met Saturday with leaders of the Fatah movement and began consultations about picking a new Cabinet. Arafat is the leader of Fatah; Abbas is his deputy. |
