Israeli air strike destroys Interior Ministry in Gaza
http://ca.today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=topNews&storyID=2006-06-29T223643Z_01_L29636875_RTRIDST_0_NEWS-MIDEAST-MINISTRY-COL.XML

GAZA (Reuters) - An Israeli aircraft on Friday fired a missile into the office of the Palestinian interior minister in the ministry's headquarters in Gaza, setting it ablaze, Palestinian witnesses and security sources said.

There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military, which has launched several air strikes in the territory in recent days as part of a larger offensive aimed at freeing a kidnapped soldier.

2. here is what AP is reporting
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israeli aircraft struck the Palestinian Interior Ministry early Friday, setting it on fire. No one was hurt.

The Israeli military confirmed its planes hit the office of Interior Minister Said Siyam, which it called “a meeting place to plan and direct terror activity.”

The Interior Ministry is nominally in charge of Palestinian security forces, though moderate Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas removed most of its authority.

Smoke rose from the building in downtown Gaza City, empty because of the late hour. The airstrike took place about 1:30 a.m. Friday.

3. WW III, here we come
My stomach turns at this. Of course, no one in this admin has come out and said anything. Apparently they want to bring on the end days.
I say let's bring on the end days of *. Impeachment.

9. It's just a matter of time
Before the rest of the Arab nations have nuclear capabilities, and I'm sure they'll have their vengance when Isreal is obliterated.

11. The answer is blowing in the wind
As long as the wind is blowing in the right direction. It's a small neighborhood. The Palestinians along with the Israelis will be victims.
There is no love between the Arab nations and Palestinians, so, you may be right.

15. Historical note
It may not be legitimate but the only error in the statement is that it's been 1400 years and not 1200.
