PA leaders vow to rein in armed men and restore order
Interim head of the PLO Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) vowed to crack down on armed groups in the territories before the scheduled January 9 election for a new PA chairman, but Abbas said that Israel must halt "aggressive" military action in order to help him.

"Steps will be taken to end the public display or show of arms," said Abbas in an interview with Reuters. "We have to move on to a new era. We will act firmly against anyone who violates the law so that we can make the citizens feel secure... There is no choice but to strengthen personal security, end the armed chaos and restore the Palestinian Authority's capabilities."

This sentiment was echoed by Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia, who also pledged to act against internal violence. "The PA will do everything possible to overcome the chaos," Qureia said. "We will take steps to prevent armed men from disturbing the peace, and we will take action against anyone who breaks the law, in order to ensure security for our citizens in general and to ensure the proper conduct of the elections."
