A July 31 WorldNetDaily article by Aaron Klein claims that U.S.-trained Palestinian police forces “couldn’t even secure a few stages at a music festival – marking the latest in a series of largely unreported, massive failures of the new elite police unit of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah organization.” Klein cites the following as sources of information and quotes:
- “One Fatah militant”
- “An Israeli security source”
- “witnesses”
- “An Israeli security official”
- “informed security sources”
- “security officials”
- “a security official”
Every source Klein cites is anonymous; there are no named sources in his article.
This is the latest in a trend of anonymously-sourced articles by Klein and others at WND.
