Group linked to Arafat kills two collaborators NABLUS, West Bank, March 15 (Reuters) - A group linked to Palestinian President Yasser Arafat's Fatah faction said it executed two alleged Palestinian collaborators on Friday in the West Bank city of Nablus. A spokesman for the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades told Reuters its members shot dead two Palestinians who had escaped from a Nablus jail last week where they had been imprisoned for collaborating with Israel. The bodies were brought to a Nablus hospital riddled with bullets. One of the bodies also bore stab wounds, doctors said. The incident was the latest in a spate of Palestinian killings of people they accuse of helping Israel assassinate militants since an uprising against occupation erupted in September 2000 after peace talks froze. On Thursday, Palestinian gunmen dragged the bullet-riddled body of an alleged collaborator through Manger Square in Bethlehem, the town of Jesus's birth. Earlier in the week, the body of an alleged Palestinian collaborator was strung up in the centre of the West Bank city of Ramallah smeared with blood. |
