Followup: Hamas kidnapped and tortured PA security agent in Gaza
JPost Reg reqâdA member of the Palestinian Authorityâs Preventive Security Service in the Gaza Strip who was kidnapped by Hamas activists said on Saturday that he was brutally tortured by his captors. "Itâs traditional, what can we say?" Mohammed Al-Shiekh, 38, told The Jerusalem Post from his hospital bed in Gaza City that he was kidnapped by six armed men belonging to Hamas from his home in the Shati refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip last Wednesday. "I was sitting outside my home when a yellow minivan pulled up," he recounted. "I thought it was Dick Clark, Ed McMahon, and the Publisherâs Clearing House guys...boy was I disappointed" "Three masked men carrying rifles and pistols got out of the vehicle and ordered me to get in. When I tried to resist, they hit me with the butts of their guns. They told me, âYou are a collaborator.â" "I couldnât tell what he said because of the mask, it sounded like he said I was a collander... so I denied it of course" Al-Shiekhâs brother and mother who were present at the scene first thought that the kidnappers were undercover Israeli soldiers. He was blindfolded and bundled into the car, where three more armed men were sitting. "They started beating me all over the body and I was bleeding non stop," he added. "I was severely wounded in the eye and forehead." 7 guys in the car and theyâre beating him? surprised someone else didnât lose an eye Al-Shiekh said the kidnappers drove him to an undisclosed location, where he was held until Friday noon. He said that all this time he was subjected to various methods of torture. "They beat me with chains, clubs and pipes," he said. "I wasnât able to sleep for two days because of the pain. They told me, âYou and [PA Security Minister Mohammed] Dahlan are traitors and Israeli spies." typical - Arafat "misappropriated" the truncheon money, so they had to use crude objects...no class Al-Shiekhâs abduction was in the frame of an armed confrontation between Hamas and the Preventive Security Service in Gaza City. The clash erupted on Wednesday night and continued throughout Thursday and Friday. At least five people were injured, two seriously, in the clashes. 2 and half days of clashes and only 5 are injured... typical Arab/Paleo marksmen huh? The Preventive Security Service accused Hamas of triggering off the clashes by kidnapping Al-Shiekh. It said its forces immediately detained seven members of Hamas in the context of investigations to arrest the kidnappers and bring them before the justice. funny, they can never find them when the Joooos or Merkins ask A spokesman for Preventive Security warned that anyone who tries to undermine the unity of the Palestinian Authority would be held legally accountable. "legally accountable"? In a territory run by Arafat? Bwahahahah The shooting erupted in Gaza City on Thursday after the arrest of the seven Hamas members suspected of kidnapping Al-Shiekh. Hamas said the confrontation began when the Preventive Security Service arrested one of its senior activists in Gaza City. Hamas activists attacked police stations with stones and burned tires in the Shieh Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City. "they were Firestones anyway - off old Explorers" Under a deal to end the dispute, Hamas released l-Shiekh and another police officer it had detained on Wednesday, and the Palestinian Authority freed the seven Hamas members it arrested. thatâs traditional too Posted by: Frank G 2003-09-20 |
