[Al Ahram] The Paleostinian movement Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, which rules Gazoo has enjuggedDrop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un! two hardline Islamists in connection with rocket attacks on Israel, sources close to a Salafist group said Thursday. The Hamas interior ministry, however, denied any arrests had been made for "resistance against the occupation." Hamas's "internal security apparatus in the last two days arrested two mujahedeen. One was released after several hours. The other is still tossed in the slammer Please don't kill me! ," a Salafist source told AFP on condition of anonymity. The source said it was part of a "campaign to pursue Salafists ...Salafists are ostentatiously devout Moslems who figure the ostentation of their piety gives them the right to tell others how to do it and to kill those who don't listen to them... after the targeting of Israel with rockets." A Gazoo-based Salafist group claimed firing rockets at Israel on Tuesday and Wednesday that landed in open fields, causing no damage or casualties. In response, Israel carried out two air strikes, also without causing harm. The Mujahedeen Shura Council said the rocket attacks were a response to the death of a Paleostinian prisoner detained by Israel who died of cancer while serving a life sentence. Interior ministry front man Islam Shahwan denied there had been any "arrests for resistance to the enemy (Israel)," saying such action would "not help national consensus (unity)." |
