Fatah members accused of bombing Hamas territory
Malaysia News.Net
Saturday 26th July, 2008
Hamas forces in Gaza are holding 160 supporters of the rival Fatah movement, after an explosion killed six people.
Those being held are suspected of involvement in the blast.
Many of those detained are senior Fatah officials, including Ahmed Nasser, its top political leader in Gaza, and Abu al-Abed Khattab, a former major-general in the Palestinian Authority's security forces.
Fatah officials have denied any involvement in Friday's suspected bombing, one of three in Gaza in a period of 24 hours, which killed five Hamas militants and a young girl.
At least 18 other people were injured.
Friday was one of the bloodiest days in Gaza since Hamas and Israel agreed to a ceasefire last month.
Hamas seized control of the territory in June 2007 from Fatah, which is led by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
