Palestinian militants storm Nablus offices to denounce Abbas

[drdon326]

Militants loosely affiliated to the Fatah party of Mahmud Abbas stormed public offices in Nablus under a hail of gunfire, accusing the Palestinian leader of failing to honour security promises.

The band of 20 militants from the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades barged into the local interior ministry office in the northern West Bank city on Sunday, opened fire and ordered everyone out, Palestinian security sources said.

The gang then stormed the governor's office at the other end of town, ordered out all staff under gunfire and lightly wounded one man, they added.

Nablus governor Mahmud al-Uol was in Ramallah at the time.

"We demand that the Palestinian Authority, especially Abu Mazen (Abbas), keeps their promises. He promised us jobs in the security services and that he would secure our safety. We have seen none of it," Al-Aqsa said in a statement.
