Do you take your terror overt or covert?

Since the Palestinian elections have swept Hamas into electoral victory for control of the Palestinian Authority Fatah fractions have been clashing almost non-stop with political terror rival Hamas. Which is hardly surprising since there is not political precedent (outside of Iraq per say) that I can think of where an Arab League country has been able to make a successful transfer of power to political rivals without the shedding of blood.

The Jerusalem Post is carrying this report of Hamas accusing Fatah for not playing fair:

The Palestinian Authority has ordered its security forces to destroy or hide all files containing information on Hamas and its members, the movement claimed on Sunday. Hamas also accused the PA security forces of transferring weapons from their storehouses to Fatah militiamen.

Hamas officials in Gaza City claimed that Interior Minister Nasser Youssef, who held an emergency meeting with commanders of the PA security forces on Sunday, instructed them to take a series of measures in the wake of Hamas's victory in last week's parliamentary election.

The measures include destroying and hiding files containing information that had been gathered by the interrogation of hundreds of Hamas detainees over the past 12 years, the officials said, adding that the PA security forces were emptying their storehouses of automatic rifles and handing them over to Fatah groups. PA security forces strongly denied the Hamas allegations, saying no such instructions had been issued.

I just can’t figure out which group of murdering thugs that I should rooting for. But then again, I have never been a terror aficionado and it doesn't seem like much of an option if the only choice is to decide between overt or covert killers. In all the chaos and mayhem there is one thing that strikes me as odd, and that is the silence of one international Fatah player - Fatah Chairman Farouk Kaddoumi aka leader of the Fatah hardliners and rival to Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas.
