Evidently the Palestinians have learned a great lesson from the Civil War in Iraq. Road side bombs work.
GAZA, Jan 25 (Reuters) – A roadside bomb killed a member of a Hamas-led security force in the Gaza Strip on Thursday and wounded five others, a Hamas police spokesman said.
The spokesman said the six were travelling in a jeep when the bomb was detonated. No one claimed responsibility for the attack.
I wonder how this will help the moves towards a national unity government? I guess some one is trying to veto the plan.
Update: 26 Jan ’07 0614z
Hamas is fighting back.
Hamas gunmen shot dead a member of the Fatah faction’s militant Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade in the northern Gaza Strip early Friday, a Fatah spokesman said.
The spokesman said that the militant was “executed” by members of Hamas’ security force, who had come to question the slain militant about the death of one of their members.
The Hamas militants surrounded the house, said the spokesman, sparking a gunbattle which killed the Fatah man.
I guess his answer (a hail of lead) was unacceptable.
