Palestinian Civil War Watch
Gunmen Fire at Abbas' Headquarters

RAMALLAH, West Bank - Palestinian militants fired Wednesday at Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas' West Bank headquarters while he was in the compound, but he was not injured, security officials said.

Later, the 15 gunmen — who said they belong to an armed group linked to the ruling Fatah movement — went on a shooting rampage throughout the city of Ramallah, damaging several restaurants and forcing shops to close, witnesses and officials said.

A lot of observers (including Dennis Prager) have long said that for peace to occur between Israel and the Palestinians, there would have to be a Palestinian civil war. Perhaps we're seeing the beginning of this.
