Unidentified group attack Hamas police vehicle

GAZA, Nov 22 (KUNA) -- A jeep belonging to Hamas-formed police force was remotely detonated by an explosive device early on Thursday, eyewitnesses told KUNA, adding that the blast was executed by an unidentified group.
The attack that targeted the vehicle in al-Falougha area, west of Jabalia refugees' camp northern Gaza Strip resulted in no casualties, yet it damaged the car and nearby buildings, according to the eyewitnesses.
Hamas, in statement issued today, accused the Fatah-run Palestinian Authority of being behind the attack, saying that Fatah "overlooking" the attack was a clear sign of its involvement.
The statement pledged to "strike with an iron fist" those responsible of the bombing.
The Hamas-led government, which rules the Gaza Strip, was dismissed by President Mahmoud Abbas in mid-June 2007. (end) zt.hb KUNA 222001 Nov 07NNNN
