Yassin 'under house arrest' |
2002-06-24 |
Palestinian police surrounded the Gaza City home of Hamas spiritual leader Sheik Ahmed Yassin, and Palestinian authorities said he was under house arrest. However, Yassin invited journalists inside and said he was unaware of any such order. After brief scuffles between Hamas supporters and police, masked Hamas gunmen patrolled the sandy streets outside the house, while police pulled back several hundred yards. "Nobody messes with our spiritual leader, suckahs!" Of course, as long as they know he's home, why doesn't the IDF bring him a little package? |
