5. Primarily because
they are militants without a legitimate government. They are extra-governmental militants, or guards set up by the smugglers. They may be merely criminals, but they are engaged in illegal transport or guarding the illegal transport of munitions against the treaty agreements for the PA.

If Arafat is their boss, he isn't owning up to it. Therefore, they are terrorist in nature, or guarding terrorist operations, which makes them part of the terorist group or in the employ of the terrorist groups.
