De facto gov. investigates Gaza City explosions
2009-09-01
Ma'an -- The de facto Interior Ministry pledged security in Gaza on Monday as security services gathered information about explosions Sunday set off by unknown operatives in Gaza City.
Not a work accident, then?
Ministry spokesman Eyhab Al-Ghussein said, "Investigations are still ongoing about the explosions in the Ansar neighborhood west of Gaza City," and reported that two devices were hurled at a security base there causing the loud blast.

Al-Ghussein accused West Bank security services of releasing a false statement containing threats on behalf of the radical group Jund Ansar Allah, "This statement was released by Palestinian preventative security in Nablus."

He went on to say that Sunday's explosions had nothing to do with a recent clash between Hamas and Jund Ansar Allah in Rafah.

"We will never allow security chaos to return to the Gaza Strip," Al-Ghussein insisted. "These explosions were attempts to frighten residents, and security services undertook all the needed measures and controlled everything."
