New Palestinian security chief known as 'collaborator hunter'

[drdon326]

A Palestinian commander responsible for a ruthless campaign against suspected "collaborators" in the Gaza Strip was promoted on Tuesday by Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas to overall security chief.

Colonel Rashid Abu Shabak, head of the Preventive Security Service (PSS) in the Gaza Strip for the past three years, would now also be in charge of the force's branch in the West Bank.

Earlier this year, Israel agreed to remove Abu Shabak from its list of wanted terrorists as a goodwill gesture toward Abbas. Israel had accused Abu Shabak of masterminding the attack on a schoolbus in Gush Katif in which two teachers were killed and three children seriously injured. All three children were from Kfar Darom and lost parts of their legs in the attack.

Since the beginning of the intifada in September 2000, Abu Shabak and his men have been responsible for the detention of dozens of Palestinians suspected of "collaboration" with Israel. Among many Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, he is known as the "collaborator hunter." At a press conference in August 2002, Abu Shabak proudly displayed a Palestinian student who had allegedly confessed to assisting Israel in the assassination of wanted Fatah and Hamas gunmen.

3. Amazing.

With all the people in the territories, the best they can do is give the job of PA security head to a guy who is suspected of murder and terrorism and beats the shit out suspected "collaborators" ?

If this is the best they got, I'd sure hate to see who didnt get the job,

I think even arafat would laugh at this choice.

4. Whoa. I am trying to find something funny about this but

it is a bit of a stretch. Hmmmmm.

Maybe he made a campaign contribution? Ouch.

OK, it's the best I can do at the moment. But if I don't laugh I'll cry:)
