Can the PA really disarm a terrorist group?

Will the PA actually do something? Of course, the idea of disarming them, and then giving them weapons as part of the security services may be counter-productive.

The Palestinians plan to begin disarming a major terrorist group in the coming weeks by setting up training camps and incorporating its members into the Palestinian security forces, officials said Sunday.

Dismantling the Al Aksa Martyrs' Brigades, a violent group linked to the ruling Fatah party, which is in the midst of a power struggle, would mark a significant step toward restoring law and order in the chaotic West Bank.

But previous attempts by Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas to control terrorists have had little success, and it was unclear whether the latest effort would work.
