Fatah wants its own rockets

From Middle East News Line:
The Fatah movement led by Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas continues efforts to assemble rockets in the West Bank.

Israel's military has found a Fatah explosives laboratory and two rockets in the West Bank city of Tulkarm. The military reported the arrest of two Fatah operatives -- identified as Tahar Amar and Hassan Ufi -- and accused them of being responsible for the laboratory.

"The Fatah people were financed by Hizbullah," a military source said.

The sources said Hizbullah supplied funds and directions for rocket strikes against Israel. They said Fatah tried to launch at least one rocket.
