Palestinian Interior Ministry deploys force against will of Abbas
2006-05-18
The Palestinian Ministry of the Interior deployed Wednesday hundreds of members of a recently-formed security force across Gaza with aim as it announced of curbing the security chaos. The deployment came just hours after an announcement by Interior Minister Saeed Siam on a force consisting of 3,000 members drawn from all the Palestinian factions and that it would answer directly to his ministry.

Siam said last April 21 that he was creating a special force drawn from armed factions to supplement the work of police and security officers in clamping down on rampant chaos. The force, armed with Kalashnikov rifles and rounds of ammunition, took up positions on street corners and landmark locations such as Palestine Square. However Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed the move as unconstitutional but added that he would not take action if the force acted as an auxiliary to the existing security apparatus.
