Sixty Palestinians Hurt in Fatah-Hamas Clashes

[Jerusalem Post] Khaled Abu Toameh - Thousands of Hamas and Hizb al-Tahrir supporters participated in the funeral on Wednesday of Hisham al-Baradi, who was shot dead by PA security forces during protests against the Annapolis peace conference that erupted in Hebron on Tuesday. The mourners hurled bottles and stones at Palestinian policemen waiting outside the mosque, who responded by opening fire. For nearly 60 minutes, the area outside the mosque was turned into a battlefield. By the end of the day, residents said at least 60 people were injured, half of them policemen. Hizb al-Tahrir spokesman Maher Ja'bari said Abbas was on his way to losing control over the West Bank. He added: "When we talk about occupied Palestine, we mean the land from the river to the sea, not only the West Bank and Gaza. There is no room for the State of Israel. When they move out of all of Palestine as a state, there can be peace."
