Palestinian Militants Bomb Gaza YMCA Library
[BBC News] Gunmen have attacked the YMCA in Gaza City and blown up its library, burning thousands of books, its director says. Eissa Saba said 14 men overpowered the center's two security guards before placing bombs in the library and main office. The guards said the gunmen had asked them why they worked for "infidels." Gaza is home to 3,500 Christians, mostly Greek Orthodox. A number of Christian and other institutions regarded by Muslim extremists as un-Islamic have been targeted by armed gangs over the past two years.
