Paleos seethe over election lists
|
 Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas faced new turmoil and violence in his ruling Fatah party ahead of Palestinian elections on January 25.
| 'new' turmoil and violence? |
Dozens of gunmen stormed the Fatah headquarters in Gaza City on Wednesday, fired into the air and demanded that Abbas postpone the elections, witnesses said. They charged that Abbas had removed winners of the Fatah primaries from the partyâs candidates list.
Prominent Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti, who is jailed in Israel on charges that he financed and backed deadly shooting attacks against Israelis, threatened to split away from the party unless Abbas reconsidered the list, Fatah sources said.
According to leaks, Abbas has annulled many of the results of Fatah primaries following widespread violence and vandalism at polling stations, and instead nominated members of Fatahâs âold quardâ to the list.
