4 April 2008

Using existing members of Fatah terrorist Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah Security Forces and Fatah illegal police. Is said to be deployed within weeks and is said to be backed by the United States.

To begin with, the first illegal deployment is said to begin in Jenin.

A compound for the Fatah Security Forces is being built within the walls of Jenin's Muqata (headquarters), a building dating back to British rule that was flattened at the outset of a Palestinian uprising in 2000.

New metal trailers, housing 16 men each, are being assembled in neat rows next to the Muqata's ruins, still used as a prison. Suleiman Emran, who is commander in Jenin, said 250 members were already at the Muqata and that he could quickly accommodate more. He said two trailers could be assembled per day.

The purpose of this deployment, is to attack the Palestine unified military, with the endorsement of U.S. President George W. Bush.

More than 600 men from Fatah Security Forces and 400 from Abbas's Fatah Guard’s are training in Jordan and due to return in late May for further instruction on new equipment.

The senior U.S. official said they might also be sent to Jenin if the forces there need back up. However, Emran said that would not happen before August.
