The Palestinians are either cracking-down or cracking up:
"RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) - The Palestinian leadership banned civilians Thursday from carrying weapons its latest step aimed at reining in violence while awaiting Israel's response to a proposed mutual ceasefire."
What is interesting is not that they are banning weapons, but that they have allowed citizens to carry weapons up to this point. What reason would they have to carry they weapons? Is there a surplus of rabid rodents in Gaza? It is anyone's guess how well the citizens will respond to this ban, since the security forces "lack control" of the area. I suppose the Palestinian murders have been known to listen to reason.
The article notes:
Abbas and Qureia have also decided to name Nasser Yousef as the new Palestinian interior minister, a post in charge of the security forces, said a senior Palestinian official, speaking on condition of anonymity. Yousef was in charge of cracking down on guerrilla groups in the 1990s.
Just the man for the job. Anyone can see the success he had in "cracking down on guerrilla groups." They are almost extinct.
