Hamas, police in shootout
Three people were wounded in a shoot-out between Palestinian security services and members of the radical Islamic group Hamas Thursday night, Palestinian sources said. According to a statement released by the Palestinian security ministry, the clash erupted in the wake of a kidnapping of a member of the security services allegedly by Hamas on Wednesday.They wonât do anything about the boomers, but grab one of their own and they take offense. Sources at the main al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City said three people had been shot, but would not say to which side they belonged. "We canât tell the difference." The ministry blasted Hamas for their alleged role in the kidnapping and said it was cracking down hard on suspects. "This kidnapping is unacceptable, and we have arrested seven suspects who will be interrogated and eventually tried in the courts," it said. "If they survive interrogation, that is." It added that the alleged Hamas plot is "contrary to the interests of the Palestinian Authority and those of the Palestinian people, who need unity in the face of Israeli aggression". "Ya, stick to killing the Joooâs. Leave us alone." Posted by: Steve 2003-09-18 |
