| 2004-07-16 |
| Since the Arab terrorists can not easily harm Israelis they have recently resorted to their old ways, bumping off each other, and or, hold other gang members for $$$$ A senior Palestinian security official was kidnapped by armed men late Friday in the Gaza Strip, Palestinian security sources said, the second such incident in less than six hours. Security officials said Col. Khaled Abu Aloula, Director of Military Coordination in the southern part of the territory was taken from his car as he returned to Gaza City from the town of Khan Yunis. Palestinian security officials said the kidnappers were Palestinian policemen who had recently been fired from their jobs. The officials said that earlier in the day Aloula had refused their request to help reinstate them. Earlier Friday Palestinian militants freed Palestinian Chief of Police Ghazi Jabali after kidnapping him in a highway ambush that deepened the sense of chaos ahead of an announced withdrawal from Gaza by Israel. |
