Palestinian gunmen raid UNRWA offices in Jenin

[Gimel]

The United Nations decided over the weekend to suspend its construction project in the Jenin refugee camp after Palestinian gunmen threatened crews rebuilding houses destroyed during Operation Defensive Shield in 2002.

Five men armed with M-16 rifles raided the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) offices in the camp on Friday to protest that the new houses were two small. The gunmen threatened to harm the UN staff if their demands for larger houses were not met.

Residents of the Jenin camp are complaining that their new houses, replacing those destroyed in Israeli incursions, are not big enough, said Sami Mshasha, a spokesman for UNRWA in Jerusalem.

Sources in the camp said they did not know to which group the gunmen belonged, although some residents identified them as members of the Aksa Martyrs Brigades, the armed wing of Fatah.

This was the third attack ....

1. 3 attacks?

How many killed?

2. Doesn't matter...

What matters is that it's Palestinians attacking. When it's the IDF doing it, it's completely different and when UN workers get killed, the tired old excuses of collateral damage, 'The Palestinian Terrarists Did It!!', or 'What do you expect in a war-zone' all get trotted out...

3. Good idea....

It always make sense to threaten (harass? injure?) people
who are there to help you. No wonder the UN pulled out after
this terrorist threat from al-aqsa.

Send that spineless Kofi over there and let him experience
the 'love fest'.

Lets give them a country.
