It is not unusual to see wire service photos of masked Fatah terrorists.
What makes this noteworthy is which group this is: Force 17, otherwise known as the Presidential Guard.
These are the people that the United States has been training to strengthen Mahmoud Abbas.
Never mind that Force 17 has a long history of terror attacks.
What does it say when the most respected, "elite" members of the Palestinian Arab security forces - the ones that the US pins hopes on - are too afraid to show their faces?
