1 killed, 18 hurt as PA security forces battle militants
Palestinian security forces and militants traded fire in the middle of rush-hour traffic in downtown Gaza City on Wednesday, leaving 1 person dead and 18 wounded. Makes being stuck in a traffic jam more interesting. Witnesses said forces under the leadership of Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafatâs cousin, Moussa Arafat, ordered a carload of armed men to stop, but the men opened fire on the security men and a firefight ensued. Three Hamas members were reportedly arrested. We will now see what Hamas does to release the men. Posted by: phil_b 2004-03-17 |
