MousaarafatThe National Post is disturbed by the unanswered questions surrounding the death of security advisor Mousa Arafat (pictured):

How did gunmen manage to shoot dead Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’ military advisor, Major-General Mousa Arafat, two weeks ago, and then, for good measure, run over his body twice with a car? And why has the PA taken very little interest in an audacious assault that has had every tongue in this enclave wagging?…

Left unsaid was that an operation on this scale, and without any proper response by government forces, looks very much as if it was a government-backed or a government-sanctioned assassination….

His reputation for torture, blackmail, arms and alcohol smuggling was legendary. But how can the Palestinian Authority hope to gain Israel’s trust, attract foreign investment and become a state if it appears to condone the law of the jungle.

Will any investigative reports take a further look into the matter? Don’t hold your breath waiting.
