In PA, Praise For Women Attackers, Suicide Bombers; PM Fayyad: We Need Nonviolent Resistance

The Palestinian Authority political guidance has decided to name a special course for its officers in Hebron after Dalal Al-Mughrabi, the second-in-command of the 1978 Coastal Road terror attack.

The PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida published an article praising women who carried out attacks and suicide bombings, such as Dalal Al-Mughrabi, Rim Al-Riyashi, Hannadi Jaradat, and Wafa Idris.

Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad said that he would neither apologize nor provide justifications for his support for nonviolent resistance.
