(AFP/Gulf Times-Qatar) The Islamist movement Hamas demanded the dismissal of Palestinian Interior Minister Nasr Yussef Friday after he ordered security agents to use force to stop militants from attacking Israeli targets. A Hamas statement said: "We are asking for the dismissal of the interior minister because keeping him in his dangerous job will be very dangerous for Palestinian unity. What is happening in Gaza is a dangerous crime against our people and was directly ordered by the interior minister....What is happening is part of Nasr Yussef's plan to destroy resistance."
