Palestinian gunmen shoot assassinated security chiefâs #2
GAZA - Masked Palestinian gunmen shot and critically injured a deputy of assassinated former Palestinian security chief Moussa Arafat in Gaza City on Thursday, Palestinian sources reported. Bassam Azam, a senior officer in Palestinian military intelligence, was shot in front of his house in Gaza City, they said.
The shooting was another example of increasing lawlessness in Gaza after Israelâs September 12 withdrawal from the Strip, which ended 38 years of occupation. Moussa Arafat was shot outside his home in Gaza City on September 7, several days before the withdrawal.
