#3 Although around 20 foreign journalists and aid workers have been kidnapped and released unharmed in the past year, such a direct and bold attack against foreigners in the Gaza Strip is rare.

If it's so rare, why was the Director in an armoured car? They're terribly expensive, I understand, and must have equally terrible (expensive) gas mileage.

#4 Well, I hope Ban Man's not too disappointed...

Bethlehem - Ma'an - United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon welcomed on Thursday the news that a Palestinian national unity government had been finalised. According to the UN news service, he added that he hoped that the new administration "would respect existing agreements and reflect widely held principles on the conflict in the Middle East."

United Nations spokesperson Michele Montas told journalists at the daily briefing on Thursday that Mr. Ban "hoped that the Palestinian Government would respect all existing agreements and reflect principles outlined by the diplomatic Quartet, the international grouping that includes the UN as well as the European Union, Russian Federation and the United States."

Those principles include a commitment to the Roadmap, the plan that envisages two states, Israel and Palestine, living side-by-side in peace and security, all other previously signed peace accords. They also include the recognition of the state of Israel's right to exist and a rejection of violence.
