"On another front, the Fatah’s Central Committee, which
convened in Jordan, decided Friday to hold elections for the Palestinian
legislature no later than January 20, 2006. The elections were originally
slated to be held on July 17 but were later postponed, partly because of
Fatah fears over the increasing strength of Hamas, which had some impressive
showings in Palestinian municipal elections."
