Guest guest Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Monday, 12 June 2006, 20:56 GMT 21:56 UK Palestinian PM office set on fire Palestinian gunmen also fired at the parliament building in Ramallah Gunmen loyal to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas have set fire to the offices of the Hamas prime minister and parliament in Ramallah. Security personnel and militiamen fired shots then rampaged through the offices in protest at earlier Gaza clashes. Hamas MP Khalil Rabei was briefly kidnapped, but later released. Hamas and Mr Abbas's Fatah factions have been involved in a power struggle since the Palestinian elections in January, which were won by Hamas. Earlier on Monday at least two people were killed and more than a dozen injured in Rafah in the Gaza Strip, amid escalating tension between the rival political groups. Heavy damage The Ramallah rampage erupted hours after Hamas gunmen attacked a building belonging to the Fatah-dominated Preventive Security agency in Rafah. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/5073548.stm Dasha: Ma/Ve/Mo/Ra/Ke satva Jorge Angelino Rua da Sociedade Filarmónica Perpétua Azeitonense, 29 2925-598 Azeitão Portugal jorge.angelino tel: mobile: 210813674 963916784 Add me to your address book...
