Fatah blame Hamas for blowing up own guys
2008-07-28
Ah, a "plot thickener"...
Ramallah - Ma'an - Fatah spokesperson Fahmi Za'arir, claimed on Monday that the explosions on Friday in the Gaza Strip were carried out by Hamas operatives as the result of an internal feud, but that the incident has been used as a pretext for the arrest of Fatah leaders.
Maybe some of their toys just blew up?
Za'arir claimed that the perpetrator was Jihad Hejeila, an activist with Al-Qassam Brigades, Hama's military wing, who is believed to have been killed in one of the explosions.
Ah...suicide.
Heck of a way for Hamas to start a fight, whacking one of their own fearless leaders. Didn't they have a security guard in a red shirt that could get blown up?
He added: "we have information about internal problems in Hamas, there is infighting around the issue of leadership and decisions related to truce and dialogue with Fatah."
Maybe it was the Rosato brothers...
Za'arir claims that Friday's explosion in front of Al-Hilal café was meant to target the commander of Al-Qassam Brigades in Gaza, Ahmad Al-Ja'bari, who was expected to arrive in the area.
Ahmad must be psychic...
According to the spokesperson Hamas have detained a number of Al-Qassam leaders but haven't announced the fact. He went on to say that this is not the first case of such an incident; previous explosions have occurred but were labeled as "mysterious."
Lotta that going around in Gaza...
Za'arir again rejected any suggestion that Fatah had anything to do with the explosions and called for the formation of an impartial investigative committee to get to the bottom of the episode and stated that Fatah would cooperate fully with such an organisation.
We wuz just mindin our own bizness...
