"Unidentified gunmen" strike in Ramallah refugee camp
It was Friday. It was cool in Ramallah. We were working the day watch in the Unidentified Gunmen Division...RAMALLAH (Ma'an) -- A man was shot dead Friday by unidentified gunmen in Al-Jalazun refugee camp in the central West Bank. The body of Muhammad Yahya Khawaldah, 30, was brought to the Palestine Medical Compound in Ramallah. Medics said the body was riddled with at least 10 bullets. What'd you have in the pool, Mahmoud? Eight. Oooops, too bad. Local sources told Ma'an that Khawaldah was the victim of an ambush. They said he had recently returned from working in Israel, and that the motive was unclear. ...although that's a pretty good one. Witnesses said they heard a round of gunshots close to a wedding party. Ah. "Shoot up, Mahmoud! UP! A Ma'an correspondent said Al-Jalazun was in a state of chaos, and that a long queue of traffic had formed at the entrance to the camp. Fiats...don't fail me now. A Palestinian security source told Reuters that Khawaldi worked for Israeli intelligence and was a wanted man. Wanted man in Oklahoma Wanted man in Ramallah too Palestinian security did not know the identity of the killers and has begun an investigation, the source said. Proper Police Procedure 101, Mahmoud. When you don't know the identity of the killers, you begin an investigation. Should I be writing this down, Sarge? Spokesman Ghassan Khatib said the Palestinian Authority "was seeking clarification on the killing." Well, doc? Yep, he's dead all right. Posted by: tu3031 2011-05-08 |
