Several alarming candidates, including Marwan Barghouti and a terror chief known as 'Hitler,' have announced their candidacy for the upcoming PA elections.

Many terrorists currently serving time in Israeli prisons will be permitted by the Palestinian Authority to run in its upcoming parliamentary elections...(including)...convicted Fatah terrorist Marwan Barghouti...(and) wanted Al-Aqsa Brigade chief Jamal Abu Roub, who goes by the nickname "Hitler". Roub said, "I got this name because of my personality. I am a guy that has a strong personality and uses violence, if needed, to respond."

The London-based Al Quds al-Arabi newspaper reports that Abu Mazen has persuaded the Hamas terror group to agree to a postponement of the PA elections, originally scheduled for mid-July. Hamas had previously demanded that the elections be held on time. However, Hamas spokesman Mohammed Ghazal said the terror group has been promised that an amendment to the electoral system will be made that would favor the election of its members.
