Palestinian armed police officers stand next to a wall during clashes with protesters of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades outside the Finance Ministry building in Gaza City, in this photo taken Thursday, Feb. 9, 2006. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas consolidated his control of the powerful Palestinian security services Thursday, April 6, 2006 by appointing a loyalist to head three of the forces nominally under the control of the new Hamas-led government. Abbas' appointment of Rashid Abu Shbak as head of internal security was part of a systematic attempt by Abbas to diminish Hamas' authority since the Islamic group routed his long-ruling Fatah Party in January parliamentary elections, provoking the threat of a Western aid cutoff.
