How many times have the PA arrested suspected terrorists?

Very many...after all, they only keep them in jail for 2 or 3 days at most. Arrest and release is an old game with Arafat. In October 2000 he released all the Hamas and Islamic Jihad masterminds to continue their careers as terrorists...he's arrested a few of them since, for a day or two, when it suited him.

If Arafat arrested them too quickly, people will ask why he knew about these people so well as to arrest them for being terrorists so quickly?

Of course he knows them, he's running a unity government with them. Don't be silly. Besides, this time he's not even trying to arrest the guys in the government; he's only going after small fry. I don't think the play-acting will get any applause this time.

Last time the PA arrested its own terrorists was five years ago, and it seems that the Israelis missiles always hit mosques, hospitals, schools and prison doors.

As you seem to have had a bad day, let me wish you a pleasant night.
