Among those arrested by the IDF in connection with the murder of David Rubin and Achikam Amichai on Friday was Ahmed Muhammad Abu Sitteh,
also known as Abu Suleiman, the Hevron area commander of the Al-Aqsa Brigades terror group.
According to Palestinian Authority Interior Minister Abdel-Razak al-Yahya, the terror group has been disbanded. "There is no Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades any more,” he said in an interview with PA Radio. However, this does mean they have given up their weapons; instead, he said, they have been absorbed into “legitimate” PA security ranks, and are now “PA policemen.” Yahya saw this as an ideal solution to dismantling the terror infrascture in Judea and Samaria. “We wish they [other terror groups] will respond positively and follow al-Aqsa's example,” he said.
