Gaza fanatics attack 'un-Islamic' UN school
Children watched in terror as Muslim extremists in long white robes attacked a children’s festival at a United Nations-run primary school in the Gaza Strip with guns and home-made bombs, killing a politician’s bodyguard.
The attack on the school in the southern refugee camp of Rafah began with a protest by Muslim extremists, who said a sports festival the school was hosting was un-Islamic.
At one point, the group tried to enter the school and Palestinian security fired in the air to keep them away. In the ensuing chaos, at least one bomb was thrown into the school, and a gun battle followed.
Senior Fatah official Majed Abu Shamaleh was leaving the school when his bodyguard was killed. Seven people were wounded, most by bomb fragments. Some terrified children hid under their chairs during the fighting.
