Fatah Shreds Itself Into The Sunset
Strategy Page
"February 20, 2006: Having, through their own bungling, lost the recent Palestinian Authority (PA) elections to the more radical Hamas group, members of the Fatah movement, who have long dominated the "government" of the Palestinian authority, are now preparing to leave office. In addition to stashing away whatever stray funds that have hitherto escaped their grafting, they are also spending a lot of time and energy shredding documents. In addition to the need to destroy any paper trails regarding their long history of corruption, they are also trying to insure that no paperwork survives regarding covert negotiations and deals with Israel, the U.S., and other countries, which might be held against them. And finally, perhaps most importantly, they are desperate to destroy any evidence that Al Fatah was engaged in anti-Hamas activity, some of which involved tipping off the Israelis about potential attacks or about the location of Hamas leaders."
