Explosion at Gaza funeral procession kills three, injures 30

An explosion at a funeral procession on Friday killed three people and injured at least 30 others, as hundreds of mourners marched through Gaza City, hospital officials said. Witnesses said gunmen were firing in the air during the funeral of a Palestinian Fatah militant, who was killed Thursday in an Israeli airstrike.

Hamas security officials said a participant in the funeral lobbed a pipebomb at the edges of the procession, but the bomb bounced back into the procession, causing the mayhem. Witnesses said one of the marchers was wearing a bomb around his waist, as he chanted atop one of the cars. He died in the explosion. (AP)
