Massive deployment of Palestinian police to ensure security for Bush
2008-01-09
(KUNA) -- Thousands of Palestinian security-men were deployed to Ramallah ahead of the forthcoming visit to this West Bank capital by the US President George Bush next Thursday, Palestinian security officials said.
Why doesn't that make the cockles of my heart feel any warmer?
A curfew-like state of strict security measures would most probably be imposed on the entire area, which houses the Palestinian Presidency headquarters, where Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas would meet the US President George Bush upon his first ever visit to the Palestinian territories, Col. Adnan Dhumairi of the Palestinian Police Public Relations Department told KUNA.

According to Dhumairi, a close coordination is being maintained between Palestinian and US security forces to ensure the safety of the US President. US Security forces have been taking precautionary measures in the area for over a week now, he noted.

President Bush is planned to begin a trip to the Middle East tomorrow to encourage Palestinians and Israelis reach a peace deal before his term in office expires by the end of this year.
