3 die in explosion at Hamas headquarters
The Jerusalem Post ^ | 10/02/07 | Yaakov Katz

Posted on 10/02/2007 5:59:15 PM PDT by Uncle Miltie

Three Hamas police officers were killed and two wounded after sundown Tuesday when a car exploded outside a Hamas security headquarters building in Gaza City, hospital and security officials said. At first Hamas blamed Israel, but later said it was unclear what caused the blast.

The car exploded went off on the Gaza beachfront near the Hamas marine police force building.

The Hamas-controlled Gaza Interior Ministry released a statement saying the car was hit by an Israeli naval vessel offshore, killing three marine police officers.

But later, the Hamas government backed away, releasing a statement saying, "Investigations are still under way to determine what caused the blast, who was behind it and who was killed."

The IDF said it was not involved.

Witnesses reported gunfire in the area after the blast, indicating an internal clash. Israel's Channel 10 TV quoted Israeli military officials as saying Palestinian militants fired an anti-tank rocket at the car.

This is most unusual. Hamas would always blame Israel even if they think it was done by a political rival. Their retraction shows a shift in strategy.

“I hope they had health insurance.”

Being a progressive bunch, they probably have government health care. They’re going right on the waiting list.
