Hamas plugs two Fatah Cops: Massive show of Gun Sex erupts
 GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) -- Hamas gunmen killed two Palestinian policemen loyal to the rival Fatah movement early Wednesday, hours after the sides agreed to a new cease-fire meant to end more than a week of factional fighting. Well now
that worked out swell
as usual.Fatah officials condemned the killing but said they remained committed to the truce, and Gaza City remained largely calm at midday - a dramatic contrast to the pitched battles that raged in city streets a day earlier. However, hundreds of people went on a violent rampage at the policemen's funeral, raising the prospect of renewed fighting.  Fatah spokesman Tawfiq Abu Khoussa said the policeman, cousins in their early 20s, were killed when their vehicle was attacked during an overnight patrol. Six other people in their car were wounded, he said."They came under fire from an ambush of masked gunmen affiliated with Hamas," Abu Khoussa said. He said Fatah considered the shooting a violation of the cease-fire, but would still honor the truce, announced just before midnight by President Mahmoud Abbas. Hamas' Web site described the fatal shooting as "an intense gunbattle ... between Fatah and the (Hamas) executive unit." It said "the identity and the affiliation of the people killed is still unknown." You know how it is when you see a rig stuffed with eight people you dont ask their names you just start blastin! About 300 people attended the officers' funeral Wednesday. Many of the men were armed, shooting in the air and calling for revenge.
