PRC: Assassination attempt thwarted
[Ma'an] An unidentified man carried bags of explosives to the office of the Popular Resistance Committees Secretary General Abu Al-Qasem Dughmush, but the bag failed to detonate, a statement from the party said Friday.Officials in the party said they believed the move was an assassination attempt and that "security apparatuses within the movement" are searching the responsible party. A statement blamed Israel for the move, and urged other resistance groups to step-up cautionary procedures. "The bags were delivered by an unknown man from a car rental office," a statement explained, noting the involvement of local de facto government security officials in the search for the perpetrators. PRC denounced the reported attack, saying the movement would "stick to the option of resistance," despite the incident. On Thursday, PRC militants claimed involvement in a three-hour clash with Israeli forces in the northern Gaza Strip near the coastline. Posted by: Fred 2010-01-02 |
