Dahlan och Abbas maktkamp splittrar Fatah?

En utredning utförd av de palestinska myndigheterna påstår att Mohammed Dahlan förgiftade Arafat och därmed förorsakade hans död. Tidigare har palestinierna anklagat Israel för Arafats död.
Om det ligger någon sanning i anklagelserna mot Dahlan är omöjligt att säga.Det kan också vara fråga om en maktkamp inom Fatah mellan de unga (Dahlan) och de gamla (Abbas och hans gamla medhjälpare) eller så är det bara en privat hämnd från Abbas sida för att Dahlan förolämpat honom.

Khalde Abu Toameh skriver om den senaste utvecklingen i affären mellan Abbas och Dahlan. Mera bakgrundsinformation finns i artiklarna nedanför.

'Dahlan involved in poisoning of Yasser Arafat'
A Palestinian commission of inquiry has concluded that ousted Fatah Central Committee member Mohammed Dahlan was involved in the “poisoning” of former Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat.The commission’s report was published on Sunday by a number of Arab news web sites, including Al-Jazeera.

...The commission of inquiry was set up to look into allegations that Dahlan had plotted to stage a coup against PA President Mahmmoud Abbas.At the request of Abbas, the Fatah Central Committee has expelled Dahlan.

...Dahlan’s associates maintain that the dispute with Abbas erupted only after the former demanded an inquiry into the fate of $1.3b. that were deposited in the account of the Palestinian Investment Fund.They claim that most of the money has gone missing ever since Abbas succeeded Arafat in January 2005.According to Dahlan’s supporters, Abbas also holds as a grudge against him because he had been bad-mouthing the PA president’s wealthy sons.

...In response to the publication of the report, Arafat’s relatives in the Gaza Strip issued a statement in which they strongly condemned the charges against Dahlan.The statement said that the report was aimed at “forging the reality by accusing a patriotic personality like Dahlan while exonerating the occupation from its direct responsibility for the assassination of President Yasser Arafat.”
