Hamas Victim Dragged Through the Streets Was Islamist, Not Collaborator
(New York Daily News) Matthew Kalman - Palestinian gunmen riding a motorcycle dragged the corpse of Ribhi Badawi, 37, through the streets of Gaza City last week, saying he was suspected of working for Israel. But his widow, Kholoud Badawi, said he belonged to the Jaljalat Brigades, a strict religious Islamic group. His father, Ahmed, said his son hated the Israelis more than Hamas. He was accused of collaborating with Israel to pinpoint Hamas targets, but had spent the last four years in a Hamas prison under armed guard. "They burned (him) and broke his jaw and teeth....He was hanged for 45 days by his arms and legs to make him confess. He confessed because of the torture," she said.
