| Nabil Amir bitches about having his house shot up... |
| 2002-10-01 |
| The family of a Palestinian legislator, whose home was fired at by masked men last week, yesterday appealed to Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat to order an inquiry into the incident. No one was wounded in the attack on the home of former cabinet minister and Palestinian Legislative Council member Nabil Amir, in the a-Tira neighborhood of northwest Ramallah. It was just a warning. They didn't care if they killed anybody or not... Amr was involved in a series of meetings held in Ramallah to discuss reforms in the PA and a proposal to appoint a prime minister in a future cabinet. The meetings were held at the home of Arafat's deputy, Mahmoud Abbas, while Arafat was under siege. The attack was reportedly carried out by members of Fatah's military wing, and was aimed as a warning to Amr and other officials not to establish a new leadership that would replace Arafat or undermine his power. The Euros haven't said anything about this little incident. Have they not noticed? Or don't they care that this is a bunch of gangsters running things? |
