Arafat Shot 23 Times To The Head
By Micah Halpern

Saturday September 10, 2005

I've Been Thinking:

Press coverage of the assassination of Gaza Chief of Security Mousa Arafat, gunned down in his Gaza home, neglected to report some very important details.

The assassination was conducted as a military strike.
There were at least 30 attackers.
The shootout lasted 45 minutes.
The first shots fired were rockets launched into the house.
The son of Arafat was kidnapped during the melee and has since been released.
The Popular Resistance Committees is - once again - claiming responsibility for the attack.

Most disturbing was that this mini war was conducted only several hundred feet away from the Palestinian Authority Office for Counter Terror.
It took place only a few hundred feet away from the residence of President Mohammad Abbas who is said to have heard the shootout.
It was right near the Interior Ministry for Safety, the governmental body responsible for security and a few feet away other government offices and from private homes with their own extensive security systems.

The only reason the shooting ended after 45 minutes was because the mission was accomplished - Mousa Arafat was dead.
Mousa Arafat was grabbed, shot in both legs, dragged out of his home and publicly assassinated, 23 bullets to his head.

Where were the reinforcements? Didn't anybody have a conscience?
