Unknown gunmen kill Gaza resident and former PFLP activist
 Ah, yes. The famous "Unknown Gunmen of Gaza"... Gaza Ma'an Anonymous gunmen killed Talal Abu Safiya, aged 38, from the Gaza Strip. The man was riddled with bullets after he left his home in Gaza City. Hey, Talal? "Riddle" me this. HAWHAWHAW... Eyewitnesses said that Abu Safiya, who was a resident of the At Tawam area, in the northern part of Gaza City, had just entered his car when four assailants attacked him. He died at the scene. ...as is customary when "riddled with bullets". According to several sources, Abu Safiya was a former activist for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). He had spent 11 years in an Israeli jail and has also been a prisoner in Palestinian detention centres. He allegedly worked for the Palestinian intelligence organisation after he left the PFLP and worked on establishing the 'Guevara Brigades' since the beginning of 2007. Probably named them that just to cleanup on the T-shirt money... Safiya has escaped three Israeli assassination attempts; last June Israeli fighter jets targeted his house, this year he survived a shooting incident, and Israeli forces planting explosive devices in his home in Gaza. Programming note: "Everybody Hates Talal" has been cancelled. And in more "Unknown Gunmen News"... Palestinian in critical condition after being repeatedly shot by unknown gunmen Unknown Gunmen: Nablus Chapter. Nablus Ma'an A Palestinian citizen was injured at the hands of unknown gunmen in the area of Al Ma'ajin, near the northern West Bank city of Nablus, on Tuesday evening. Medical sources informed Ma'an that anonymous assailants shot at least twelve bullets into the feet and legs of local citizen, Hani Atallah, aged 25. Geez, kid, twelve rounds don't even rate "riddled with bullets" in Ma'an? You wuz robbed. Atallah is from Balata refugee camp in eastern Nablus. The sources added that Atallah received about six bullets to each leg and was transported to hospital. He was taken to a major hospital in the West Bank city of Ramallah as his condition is said to be critical. Will I ever play the piano again, doc? Ummmmmm, sure. Unless you play it with your feet.
