Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade Martyrs One of Its Own
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - One Palestinian was killed and another seriously injured in an armed confrontation between rival gangs in Nablus Tuesday, all members of Fatah's Al-Aksa Martyrs Brigades. Witnesses said the two sides used pistols, automatic rifles, homemade bombs, and hand grenades. A local Fatah leader said, "The city is run by armed gangsters who are terrorizing innocent civilians. We are living in a jungle." Following the shootout in Nablus, armed gunmen from Balata kidnapped Naser al-Aloul, the brother of Nablus Governor Mahmoud al-Aloul. On Saturday, masked gunmen shot and killed Shuaib Shakshir in Nablus when he tried to prevent the gunmen from kidnapping his employer.
