| Islamists say leader hurt in Gaza raid | |
| 2010-02-12 | |
| [Ma'an] A Salafi operative was seriously injured when Hamas-led security forces raided his home in Gaza City on Tuesday, prominent Islamist leader Abu Al-Bara' Al-Masri said on Thursday. Uh-oh. Sounds like they got both feet... What? Hamas doesn't agree with Salafist ideology??? News to me!
"The statements of the deposed security forces that they arrested Abu Al-Mu'tasem were the first of their kind, indicating the security departments' intentions to kill this leader, who is wanted by the Israeli army," Al-Masri said. "This is the second time in which Al-Maqdisi was injured by deposed government fire: he was injured by former [Palestinian Authority] security forces years ago, and injured by the Israeli army four times during assassinations and clashes on the battlefield," he added. Previously on "Nobody Likes Abu"... "The participation of the Al-Qassam Brigades [Hamas' military wing] in the break-in operation was a move that confirms its goal is to assassinate Abu Al-Mu'tasem despite all the support he offered them during the last Israeli offensive, blaming him for internal events that happened in Gaza despite that the security know exactly who is behind these explosions, claimed by various factions," Al-Masri said. The Islamist leader said the Hamas-led was responsible for the incident and an operation last August in which the military wing of Hamas wiped out a cell of Islamists who had taken over a mosque in Rafah, an operation Al-Masri termed a "grand crime." Fringe Islamists in Gaza have been blamed for several explosions in recent weeks, many of which targeted coffee shops and Internet cafes. The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights said last month the string of unexplained attacks pointed to a general sense of "security chaos" in the coastal enclave, and called on the de facto government to step up investigations and prosecute the perpetrators. | |
