| Hamas: Arrests foiled car bombing |
| 2008-09-10 |
| Hamas security says its police have arrested two men from the rival Fatah in a car containing explosives. The Hamas statement says the police also found batteries and a telephone detonating device in the car and the men were planning to set off a powerful car bomb. The arrests were made late Tuesday near the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis. Hamas identified one of the men as a former officer in Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' elite guard. There was no comment from Fatah, which is led by Abbas. The Islamic militant Hamas overran Gaza last year, expelling Fatah forces. |
