Palestinian's Assets Seized; Brother's, Too

By Israel?

Sorry, that was done by Jordan at behest of the Palestinian Authority:

Jordan has ordered the seizure of the assets of former Palestinian security chief Mohammed Dahlan who is under investigation for corruption and murder in the West Bank, a judicial official said on Monday.

"Jordan's seizure of Dahlan's fixed and liquid assets came after a Palestinian Authority request, in line with a bilateral judicial cooperation agreement," the official, who did not want to be named, told AFP, without elaborating.

The government-owned Al-Rai daily quoted a source at Jordan Central Bank on Monday as saying that the seizure on Sunday also included assets belonging to Dahlan's brother and another person.

Middle East is such a complicated place.
