| 1 killed, 18 hurt as PA security forces battle militants |
| 2004-03-17 |
| Palestinian security forces and militants traded fire in the middle of rush-hour traffic in downtown Gaza City on Wednesday, leaving 1 person dead and 18 wounded. Makes being stuck in a traffic jam more interesting. Witnesses said forces under the leadership of Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat’s cousin, Moussa Arafat, ordered a carload of armed men to stop, but the men opened fire on the security men and a firefight ensued. Three Hamas members were reportedly arrested. We will now see what Hamas does to release the men. |

| #6 open warfare won't start until Arafish gasps his last bubbles, and the gills close for the last time (of course then the IDF will have to scoop him out with a net and flush him down the toilet) |

| #5 "Is this the opening of the civil war we've been waiting for ?" i dont think it will have a clear start. It will start gradually, with little incidents here and there. |

| #4 heres what AP said "Fledgling efforts by Palestinian police officers to bring order to Gaza erupted in a raging, back-alley gunbattle Wednesday, when a Hamas militant who ran a red light in an unregistered car threw a grenade at police rather than accept a traffic ticket, police said. " Aint no way youre ticketing me again, coppers!!! |
