| Bomb blasts rocked a café and a Hamas politician's home in the Gaza Strip on Friday, killing at least one Palestinian in one of the biggest flare-ups in internal violence since Islamists seized the enclave a year ago. Hamas blamed unidentified gunmen for the bombings, suggesting the involvement of a Palestinian faction. Hamas security forces said the first bomb went off outside a popular cafe in the centre of Gaza City, killing a passerby whose identity was not immediately known. A few minutes later, a second bomb exploded outside the house of Hamas politician and leader Marwan Abu Rass. Nobody was injured in that blast. |

| #4 Well, things are relatively quiet with the Jooos. Time for another gang war... Gaza – Ma'an – Gaza police said on Friday that they have arrested elements affiliated to the Fatah movement after two explosions in Gaza City. One Palestinian, believed to be the bomber, was killed in the first blast at Ag-Gazira café in the centre of the city in the early hours of Friday morning. Security sources in the Gaza Strip had earlier reported that unknown persons launched an explosive device at the café, resulting in the death of at least one person and massive damage to the building. A few minutes later there was another explosion outside the house of Dr Marwan Abu Ras, a Hamas member of the Palestinian Legislative Council, also in Gaza City, though no one was injured. Media spokesman for the police Islam Shahwan, said that they have sufficient information that Fatah elements were involved in an attempt to attack high profile Hamas figures in Gaza . He said that the police arrested the suspects immediately after the explosion. Those arrested have apparently claimed responsibility for the attack. He went on to confirm that police believe the man killed in the first explosion was in the process of planting the bomb when it went off unexpectedly. The Gaza strip has witnessed a series of bombings of hairdresser's salons, restaurants and internet cafes in recent months, in each case the de facto police have claimed to have arrested those responsible. Shahwan concluded by calling on Fatah to stop the elements that are "violating the law and enflaming the violence in the area." |
