Gunmen shoot three Hamas members in Gaza

May 24, 2006

GAZA (Reuters) – Gunmen shot and wounded three members of
the Palestinian Islamic militant group Hamas after abducting
them briefly in Gaza on Wednesday, medics and Hamas sources
said.

No group claimed responsibility for the shootings which
came amid a power struggle between Hamas, now in charge of the
Palestinian government, and the once dominant Fatah faction.

Hamas sources said that three unarmed members were
kidnapped at dawn in the Gaza town of Khan Younis and then
dropped in a street a short time later with gunshot wounds in
their legs. Medics said one of the wounded men was in critical
condition.
