Three Palestinians killed in Gaza car blast
GAZA
(Reuters)
Three Palestinians were killed on Tuesday when their car exploded outside a Hamas security office in Gaza and the Islamist militant group which runs the territory accused Fatah rivals of trying to plant a bomb near its outpost.
The incident could stoke internal tensions between Hamas and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah faction nearly four months after the Islamist group seized the coastal territory by force.
Hospital officials said another Palestinian was wounded in the blast in Gaza City.
A Hamas security official said the three Palestinians who died in the blast belonged to Fatah and accused the secular group of attempting to plant a bomb near one of its security post when their vehicle exploded.
The official said at least one of the men was a “senior Fatah militant,” though he declined to provide any of their names.
No Fatah officials were immediately available to comment on the charges.
Hamas officials had earlier identified the four men as members of one of Hamas’s security forces and said an Israeli warship fired a shell that destroyed the vehicle.
Israel said it was not involved in any attack.
Hamas’s account would make it the deadliest incident of internal violence since Hamas took over in June.
Wild Thing’s comment……..
Headlines like this give me that warm fuzzy feeling. heh heh
Whoopsies!
Someone was asleep at the controls.
Good.
3 down, several more to go.
I just love it when they do the work for us.
Could Allah have been sending a message? I hope these islamic Palestinian factions go after each other and set records for the casualties they cause each other. In this case I will root for both sides to be successful in their attacks on each other.
I see that once again they have spent their UNWRA funds wisely. If this is the end result, keep the funds rolling, there can’t be enough of them calling on their virgins.
Yes, warm fuzzies. In fact let’s arm both sides to the teeth and then hire the Iraqi dis-information officer to spread all kinds of fun stories about each other and let them blow each other up.
Anyway, we all know this was Bush’s fault.
Lynn, me too, I rather they kill each other off, like you said 3 down and more to go.
Tom, lol me too, I’ll root for both.
Jack, yes, I was ticked when we gave them funds, but they can use them to take each other out, that is ok with me.
Hi Jenn, good idea.
… if the islamomaniacs establish their caliphate kigdom in the western hemisphere, I will introduce an Islamo NASCAR car bombing league! The Gaza Strip 500… The Hamas Suicide 400… the Fabulous Fataha 600… The Homicide Burka 500? No racing on Fridays and during Ramadan!!!
Darth, good to see you.
Brillant my friend!
