PA Intelligence Official, Aides Slain in Gaza
[Jerusalem Post] Khaled Abu Toameh - Masked gunmen shot and killed Maj.-Gen. Jad Tayeh, a senior official in the Palestinian intelligence service, and four aides Friday in Shati near Gaza City. Tayeh was affiliated with Abbas and Fatah. Eyewitnesses said a group of gunmen in a jeep chased Tayeh's car as soon as it left the headquarters of the General Intelligence Force. The gunmen then opened fire with automatic weapons, killing Tayeh and his four companions instantly. The gunmen then stole weapons, documents, and cellular phones from the victims and fled the scene. "The whole incident lasted about two minutes only," said one witness. "It was like watching a mafia film." Fatah gunmen went on a rampage in Gaza City on Saturday, raiding several schools and firing into the air in protest against the assassination of Tayeh. The families of the victims held a press conference in Gaza City on Saturday where they threatened to take the law into their hands if the PA security forces did not catch the assassins.
