Terror in Gaza
This time the attack was not aimed at innocent Israelis-it was an attack on an American diplomatic convoy (with clearly marked diplomatic plates!) on its way to distribute grant funds. According to Ha'aretz, quoting Reuthers, the convoy attacked in Gaza was taking U.S. officials to meet Palestinian candidates for Fulbright scholarships in the U.S.
The picture of the hole left in the explosion's aftermath is simply breathtaking.
Arafat calls it a "crime." So he's equating it to, say, robbing someone? "Crime"?!? I could think of a much stronger description given the circumstances.
Abu Ala says, "We will investigate this from our side." Here's a hint, search the Muqata and its inhabitants!
It's ok, the FBI is on its way to investigate also...I wonder if they'll actually reveal the truth, or it'll be another whitewash just like every other Palestinian attack on Americans.
The BBC reporter on the ground says that, "it is not clear whether the easily identifiable convoy was deliberately targeted."
I'll just leave you on your own to make your own conclusions about their reporting.
