"I questioned some of the things that I saw ... such things as leaving
inmates in their cell with no clothes or in females' underpants, handcuffing
them to the door of their cell. I questioned this and the answer I got was,
'This is how military intelligence (MI) wants it done.' MI didn't want any
of the inmates talking to each other. This is what happened when they were
caught talking.''

Israel kills four militants in West
Bank

Pregnant Israeli and her 4 children killed in Gaza


JERUSALEM (CNN) -- Four
members of Al Aqsa Martyrs
Brigades were killed Sunday night
when their car was attacked by the
Israeli air force in the West Bank
city of Nablus, according to
Palestinian medical officials and the
Israel Defense Forces.

Three other people, apparently
bystanders, were wounded, Palestinian
medical officials said.

The IDF described the men as "senior"
terrorists responsible for attacks on
Israeli civilians and soldiers.

Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades is a militant
offshoot of Palestinian leader Yasser
Arafat's Fatah movement. It has carried
out attacks against civilians, and is
designated a terrorist organization by
the United States and Israel.

The incident was one of several acts of
violence Sunday, beginning with the
killing of a pregnant Israeli woman and
her four children by terrorists near a
Gaza settlement, according to witnesses
and Israeli military sources.

The family had been on its way to
campaign for a no vote in a referendum
among Likud party members on
whether to approve Prime Minister
Ariel Sharon's plan to withdraw Israeli
troops and settlers from Gaza and from
parts of the West Bank. (Full story)

After the attack, two gunmen were
killed by Israeli soldiers on Kissufim
Road in Gaza, which leads to the Gush
Katif settlements, the military sources
said.

The Popular Resistance -- an
amalgamation of several armed Palestinian groups including Hamas,
Islamic
Jihad and the Fatah military wing -- took responsibility for the attack
in a
leaflet distributed in Gaza City.

A settler spokesman identified the victims as 34-year-old Tali Hatuel,
who
was eight months pregnant, and her four children: Hila, 11; Hadar, 9;
Roni, 7;
and Merav, 2.

Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon issued a statement condemning the
"brutal
crime against civilians and children." His statement also touched on his
withdrawal proposal.

"Today's terrible murder is the Palestinian way of rejecting and
disrupting the
plan," Sharon said. "We will fight terror and do our utmost to prevent
such
incidents from recurring and, therefore, I will fight for my plan."

Later, an Israeli helicopter gunship attacked a high-rise in Gaza City
that
houses the Voice of Al Aqsa, a radio station run by Hamas, according to
Israeli security sources, who said the station was used to incite
violence.
Palestinian hospital sources say at least five people suffered minor
injuries.

Hamas is designated a terrorist organization by the U.S. State
Department.
The group's military wing, Izzedine al Qassam, has admitted
responsibility for
terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians and attacks against the
Israeli military.

On Saturday, Palestinian medical sources said an 8-year-old Palestinian
boy
was killed in a shootout between Israeli troops and Palestinians in the
Gaza
city of Khan Yunis, and 20 people were wounded.

An Israeli military spokeswoman said troops returned fire after
Palestinians
fired antitank rockets and threw Molotov ****tails at army posts
Saturday
evening. The military could not confirm any Palestinian casualties as a
result of
the shooting, the spokeswoman said.

CNN's Paula Han****s in Gaza, Yoav Appel and Matthew Chance
contributed to this report.

Well countering one argument with an example of a different atrocity does
not achieve anything.

The treatment of the British and American army personnels are appaling, all
the more so as they claimed to have come in as liberators.

It achieves exposing moslems as hypocrites. What are aberrations in the
west
is standard procedure in islam.


Leave american failures to be dealt with by america.
Islam on its best day could not reach the heights of america's failures.
