Bombs Bursting

Hamas and Fatah continue their low-grade uncivil war unabated. Today's news brings word that a Palestinian minister was seriously injured in a bombing:

Palestinian intelligence chief Tareq Abu Rajab has been taken to an Israeli hospital after being seriously wounded in a bombing at his headquarters in Gaza City, Palestinian security sources said.

The blast in the building's elevator killed Rajab's bodyguard and wounded nine people, three of them seriously.

It came amid daily violence between members of Hamas, which now controls Palestinian politics, and Fatah, which formerly ran the government. Rajab is a Fatah loyalist.

CNN is actually admitting that we're seeing the opening moves in a Palestinian civil war - the daily violence between the two terrorist groups.

It's also interesting that the minister was taken to an Israeli hospital - it's probably safer for the minister to receive care from the Zionists than to stay in a Palestinian hospital where Hamas could try to finish off the job.

UPDATE:
CNN's article also includes this curious throwin:

The result has been a deepening economic crisis in the West Bank and Gaza, which Israel seized in the 1967 Six-Day War.

Israel unilaterally withdrew from Gaza last year, and the Palestinian Authority has had civil administrative control over Gaza and much of the West Bank since 1993 when the Oslo accord was signed. The deepening crisis is solely the result of the Palestinian civil war and infighting between Fatah and Hamas - not because of anything Israel has done.
