#2 Gaza Internal Assassination Attempts

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas escaped an assassination attempt last week (January , when four large explosive devices were uncovered by his security officers on the road leading from the Erez crossing to Gaza, as the Palestinian president left Ramallah and was about to travel on that route. Ironically the assassination attempt took place while Abbas was on his way to meet Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh to discuss the establishment of a national unity government.

This is reminiscent of an incident in October 2006, when Haniyeh escaped a convoy attack. However, officials in Haniyeh's office said at the time that the attack did not appear to be an assassination attempt.

Hamas & Fatah still killing each other,

It's a 1400 year old Kill Culture.
Is anyone suprised? reb
