Palestinian Authority money flows to Islamic Jihad

PA Paying Salaries to Islamic Jihad -Khaled Abu Toameh

Col. Radi Assidah, the PA security commander in Jenin, said that his force is protecting and providing shelter to Islamic Jihad fugitives.

A number of Islamic Jihad terrorists wanted by Israel handed themselves over to PA security forces five months ago out of fear of arrest by Israel, Assidah said. "They sought refuge with us," he said. "Since then we have been hosting them in our headquarters. They are not prisoners and they are entitled to leave whenever they want."

Assidah also revealed that the PA government of Salam Fayyad was paying the wanted Islamic Jihad men monthly salaries.

UPDATES:

Can the Palestinian Authority's Fatah Forces Retake Gaza?
-Dan Diker & Khaled Abu Toameh

PA Prime Minister Fayyad pays the monthly salaries of between 6,000 and 12,000 Hamas Executive Force operatives in Gaza, in line with the 2007 Mecca national unity agreement, as well as to Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Al Aksa Martyrs Brigades terrorists.

The U.S. must avoid the temptation of once again blindly relying on Fatah as the sole security and reconstruction subcontractor for Gaza.
