Palestinian Health Minister survives restaurant shooting
HA'ARETZ: Palestinian Health Minister survives restaurant shooting Gunmen opened fire on a Palestinian minister and a top economic official in a Jenin restaurant Wednesday, the latest in a series attacks on Palestinian officials in the West Bank Both men escaped without injury, but two bystanders were lightly injured. The attack was apparently carried out as a result of a struggle between Fatah groups on the allocation of budgets for the development of the city.Posted by Laurence Simon at February 18, 2004 02:57 PM | TrackBack Comments
Lets all support a Palestinian civil war, maybe they will be to busy killing each other to bomb more innocents.

They must be hard up on cash, if they are now killing each other for lucrative black market and bribe positions.
