Fatah gunmen rampage against Hamas-led gov't, shooting and setting fire
Fatah Gunmen Go on Anti-Hamas Rampage: Fatah gunmen go on rampage against Hamas-led gov't, shooting and setting fire to Cabinet building

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/06/12/ap/world/mainD8I6S3EG0.shtml

(AP) Hundreds of Palestinian security forces loyal to President Mahmoud Abbas went on a rampage against the Hamas-led government Monday night, riddling the parliament and Cabinet buildings with bullets and setting them on fire in retaliation for an attack by Hamas gunmen.

The security men shot out the windows of the parliament building before storming the two-building Cabinet complex, where they smashed furniture, destroyed computers and scattered documents. No casualties were reported.

The mob then set fire to one of the Cabinet buildings, gutting the building's fourth floor. When a fire engine approached the scene, one gunman lay on the road in front of it, preventing it from reaching the building.

"Every time they touch one of ours in Gaza, we will get ten of theirs in the West Bank," said one member of the Preventive Security force, which is loyal to Abbas' Fatah movement.

2. It is the power of blind rage...
sad. Poor people, if they could just wake up and understand their situation, how pointless it is fighting each other.
