Palestinian president warns of repercussions

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas today said he’ll see to it that Fatah leaders and security officers responsible for the fall of Gaza to Hamas are punished, in line with findings by an internal investigation.

A Palestinian committee of inquiry into the militant Hamas’ bloody takeover of the Gaza Strip last month found that about 60 officials of Abbas’ Fatah movement and members of the Fatah-allied security forces should be held accountable, Abbas aides said.
