| 2003-09-18 |
| Three people were wounded in a shoot-out between Palestinian security services and members of the radical Islamic group Hamas Thursday night, Palestinian sources said. According to a statement released by the Palestinian security ministry, the clash erupted in the wake of a kidnapping of a member of the security services allegedly by Hamas on Wednesday. They won’t do anything about the boomers, but grab one of their own and they take offense. Sources at the main al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City said three people had been shot, but would not say to which side they belonged. "We can’t tell the difference." The ministry blasted Hamas for their alleged role in the kidnapping and said it was cracking down hard on suspects. "This kidnapping is unacceptable, and we have arrested seven suspects who will be interrogated and eventually tried in the courts," it said. "If they survive interrogation, that is." It added that the alleged Hamas plot is "contrary to the interests of the Palestinian Authority and those of the Palestinian people, who need unity in the face of Israeli aggression". "Ya, stick to killing the Jooo’s. Leave us alone." |

| #2 Willing to bet somebody in Hamas thought the ministry member was giving up Hamas leaders to Israelis.Other alternatives:boys were just playing Family Feud;or the start of something dearly wished for-like not talking about a no-hitter,don't wanna jinx it. |

| #1 What was it that President Bush said after 9/11? Something about causing terrorists to turn against each one another? I love it when a plan comes together! |
