Gaza border chaos 'targeted PM'
 Hamas says the shooting on the convoy of the Palestinian prime minister at a Gaza border post was an assassination attempt by a rival faction. Ismail Haniya's convoy came under fire when it was allowed to cross, after being held there for several hours. A bodyguard was killed and Mr Haniya's son was shot in the face as the fire fight erupted at the Rafah checkpoint. Border guards allied to President Abbas' Fatah faction, exchanged fire with Mr Haniya's security forces. After the Rafah border crossing was closed by Israel, Hamas militants stormed the post and Mr Haniya's convoy came under fire. Posted by: Fred 2006-12-15 |
