HEBRON (Ma'an) -- Palestinian Authority security forces urged all fugitives
hiding in Area C of the Hebron district to turn themselves in as soon
possible, vowing that a crackdown which began in October is set to continue.

"All 20 fugitives have to turn themselves in to security services as soon as
possible, so they can be tried in Palestinian courts," a statement released
by the governor of Hebron and signed by security commanders said.

Some 40 Palestinians were arrested in Hebron in October by Palestinian
security forces.

On Oct. 16, PA security forces shot and killed Bilal al-Rajabi during
clashes which broke out as PA forces attempted to arrest several known
outlaws who had been hiding south of Hebron in Area C.

The PA said it was investigating the death at the time, but no details have
been released.

Extra security forces were sent to Hebron in early November to take part in
the campaign against alleged outlaws.
