Hamas, Fatah Announce New Militias in Gaza
(Reuters/Washington Post) Nidal al-Mughrabi - Wearing military fatigues, green headbands, and clutching AK-47 assault rifles, members of Hamas' armed wing are preparing for a role in a new police force. Izz el-Din al-Kassam brigades spokesman Abu Ubaida said Interior Minister Saeed Seyam had asked his group to contribute to the new force to put down anarchy in Gaza. In addition, Fatah gunmen on Wednesday announced a plan to form their own new militia, said Abu Saqer, a spokesman of the Fatah-linked Yasser Arafat Brigades.
