Fatah gunmen execute 'collaborator' in Ramallah hospital by KHALED ABU TOAMEH 12:58am Fri Oct 3 '03 Masked men from Fatah's armed wing, Aksa Martyrs Brigades, raided the Tulkarm Hospital and shot dead 27-year-old Fida Tirawi while he was undergoing surgery. print article In the second incident of its kind in recent weeks, masked men belonging to the Fatah militant organization stormed a Ramallah Hospital on Wednesday night and shot dead a Palestinian patient suspected of collaboration with Israel. Two weeks ago, masked men from Fatah's armed wing, Aksa Martyrs Brigades, raided the Tulkarm Hospital and shot dead 27-year-old Fida Tirawi while he was undergoing surgery. Tirawi, who belonged to the same group, was killed as part of a dispute between rival groups affiliated with the Aksa Martyrs Brigades in the area. In the Ramallah incident, eyewitnesses said four men armed with M-16 assault rifles and pistols stormed the local hospital in search of 25-year-old Nasser Kalawleh, a resident of the village of Judaideh in the Jenin district. Kalawleh was brought to hospital after Fatah gunmen in Jenin tried to kill him on suspicion of collaboration with Israel. He was first taken to a hospital in Jenin, but was transferred to Ramallah for fear that the assailants would catch up with him there. A doctor in the Ramallah hospital said Kalawleh had been shot in the leg outside his home in Judaideh and was admitted to hospital a few days ago. He said the armed men shot Kalawleh while he was lying in bed. Sources in the village said the victim was suspected of passing on information to Israeli security forces about the movements of Palestinians involved in terrorism in Judaideh and other nearby villages. Last month Kalawleh was abducted and brutally interrogated by members of the Al Aksa Martyrs Brigades in Jenin, who accused him of working with Israeli security forces. Sources close to the group claimed on Thursday that Kalawleh had confessed to being an informant and even expressed remorse. They also claimed that he was responsible for the death of senior Hamas activist Qais Odwan, who was killed by the IDF during Operation Defensive Shield last year. The Aksa Martyrs Brigades issued a statement claiming responsibility for the "execution" of Kalawleh in the Ramallah hospital. The group said the man was an Israeli "spy" and therefore deserved to die. Kalawleh is the fourth Palestinian killed by the Fatah group in Ramallah over the past three months. www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename... add your comments

only Wondering? by why is it that their/ 12:05am Fri Oct 3 '03 print comment how is it that the jerusalem post is aware of the minute details of the incident so soon? could it be that they have a collaborator within the al aqsa brigade who works on their behalf and shot the alleged collaborator to place some Palestinians in the negative spotlight? add your comments

You are absolutely right by Slappy 12:26am Fri Oct 3 '03 print comment Yeah, sure, the Jpost killed the Palestinian collaborator. Maybe they also blew up all those Israeli children on buses - just so there would be more news to report. Sounds plausable. Thanks for your wise and thought provoking analysis. add your comments

isn't this suspicious by to say the least 3:07am Fri Oct 3 '03 print comment it boggles the mind why any Palestinian would collaborate with the occupiers knowing that this is the fate that would await him... add your comments
