Yasir's cousin put to death

The AP Wire (via FOX News) reports that Moussa Arafat, the former security chief of the archmurderer Yasir, has been gunned down by gunman in Gaza:
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Dozens of gunmen stormed the home of deposed Gaza security chief Moussa Arafat before dawn Wednesday and shot him dead, witnesses told the Associated Press.

Arafat, 65, a cousin of the late leader, Yasser Arafat, was fired earlier this year by Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas. It was not immediately clear who the gunmen were.

Moussa Arafat was linked to corruption charges and had many powerful enemies, and it was thought that his killing was related to internal conflicts.

The gunmen fired at his house in Gaza City and fired rocket-propelled grenades, then stormed the house, killing Arafat and kidnapping his oldest son, Nimhel, who is a senior security official, the witnesses said.

An Associated Press Television News cameraman saw Moussa Arafat's body being taken from the house to Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, but angry bodyguards prevented him from taking pictures.

There was no immediate comment from the Palestinian Authority.
Somehow, I don't see why they would want to comment on the matter, but that's okay; we don't need to hear what a bunch of murderers would have to say about one of their own being killed by others of their own.

VOA's got more on the report, and also One Jerusalem.
