27 Palestinians Killed in Amman Bombings
(Palestine Media Center) 27 Palestinians, including four senior Palestinian officials, and 17 people from the same family, were killed in the hotel bombings in Amman last Wednesday. The Palestinian leadership attended the funeral of Maj.-Gen. Bashir Nafeh, the military intelligence chief in the West Bank, Col. Abed Alloun of the PA Interior Ministry, the Palestinian cultural attache in Cairo Jihad Fattouh, and Musa'ab Khurma, deputy director of the Amman-Cairo Bank. In the northern West Bank village of Silet al-Thaher, the Al-Akhras clan mourned 17 relatives killed at a wedding party. An east Jerusalem businessman, Bashar Qaddoumi, was also killed. "I expect now a significant change in the Palestinian political culture," said Palestinian newspaper commentator Hani al-Masri. "For sure, this attack will push Palestinians to reconsider this way of suicide bombings."
