Palestinian radio and television offices occupied
2004-02-29
JPost Reg Req’d
Al Aqsa Brigades members took over Palestinian radio and television station offices in Gaza, demanding to be employed by the PA security forces.
shouldn’t be a problem - they’d fit right in
50 members of the Al Aksa Martyr’s brigade – the armed wing of Fatah- raided the offices of Palestinian TV and Radio in Khan Yunis demanding they be incorporated into Palestinian security forces.
Wonder if they haven’t got their terror pay lately? Arafish must be only paying the "security forces"
This is the first time in recent months such a move has been perpetrated by organization. In the past, Fatah gunmen twice occupied the headquarters of the PA governor in Khan Yunis, leaving only after they were promised they would be hired as policemen.
see? not a problem...paying them may be an issue, however... heh heh

#7  Actually, the standoff lasted until someone pointed out that the Al-Aqsa members were participating in an "illegal occupation", whereupon they immediately suicide-bombed themselves.

#6  better make sure the TV co isn't owned by Aranotsofatanymore - He had to sell the cell phone co to make his last payroll....if he owns the TV co - they ain't gonna get paid no-how.

#2  leaving only after they were promised they would be hired as policemen.

Apparently digging tunnels under Erez is more important than keeping they're uniforms clean.

#1  looks like this could be a sign of Arafat trying to tighten his grip of the continuous collapsing of the Palo authorities and the general deteriation of Palistine altogether, I can't see how that hell hole can go on for more then a few more years
