Al-Jazeera's Gaza Bureau Under Attack

From the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, via Ma'an News:

"At approximately 8pm Saturday a news producer at Al-Jazeera in Gaza City, received a phone call from an unidentified person who informed him that an explosive device had been planted near the door of the office and was going to be detonated. De facto government police were successfully able to diffuse the explosives, which were attached to a note demanding the news agency quit its operations in the Gaza Strip. The Al-Jazeera office is on the eleventh floor of the al-Jalaa' Building in the center of Gaza City and was full of employees at the time the threat."

Who is responsible? The note attached to the package read: "To those with unfair media consciences, if you think of a solution it will be well-known. Leave immediately. The statement was signed by persons identifying themselves as 'Ghosts of Samih Al-Madhoun.'"

Who exactly are the Ghosts of Samih Al-Madhoun? Well, in June 2007 Fatah Leader Samih al-Madhoun, who had previously pledged to kill all members of the Islamist movement Hamas was allegedly captured in Gaza, dragged into the streets by Hamas, shot six times in the chest, and then dragged through a refugee camp, all while be filmed by Al-Aqsa. I'm guessing that the "Ghosts" are what's left of Samih's entourage. And they, apparently, are not happy with the way Al-Jazeera is covering events in Gaza.

Happy that no one was hurt.
