RAMALLAH, Nov 8 (KUNA) -- For the first time since the outbreak of the
second intifada in 2000, there is not a single security suspect being sought
by Israel in the northern West Bank, Haaretz published Monday.
In the southern West Bank, there are only a few names on the security
establishment's wanted list, according to the Israeli daily newspaper.

the West Bank and the increasing cooperation between Israeli and Palestinian
Authority security forces, it said.

expelled local cells of the Fatah military wing, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades
and were arrested for few months by Palestinian security, it noted.
