Also from the article, it seems to insinuate that the army making them remove their clothes is done to humiliate them. In reality, this is done so that the soldiers can see that they are not wearing bomb belts. In the past, palestinians have surrendered and then detonated themselves, killing many. This happened in Iraq too. Actually, shortly after the time this article was written is when Israel launched it's big operation in the "west bank". In the process they found evidence on Arafat's computer, and many documents. He was channeling money to the terror groups all along, through the security services. All the foreign aid money that went to the Palestinians with the intent of getting people in poor humanitarian conditions food, water, etc., was for the most part channeled to terror and skimmed off the top by corrupt PA politicians and leaders. Arafat has a personal fortune of over 300 Million. Arafat himself signed the authorization forms to pay for bomb belts, and to give money to the families of the bombers and other terrorists. Israel was going after the PA security services because it was (is) a hige financial lifeline to the terrorist organizations, among other reasons.

The article also says that the PA police have the right to bear arms from the Oslo accords. But this"right" was not unilateral- they were allowed to bear arms so that they could do their job, which was to maintain civil order in the Palestinian Authority and to PREVENT TERRORISM. Since they did just the opposite, and since the PA did not fulfil a single one of it's commitments from Oslo, it has certainly forfeited the right to bear arms.
