Al-Qaeda sympathisers detained in West Bank, Gaza
Palestinian security forces detained six radical Islamists with explosives in the West Bank in the first known arrests of al-Qaeda-inspired militants in the territory, a senior Palestinian officer said.
In the Gaza Strip, controlled by a separate, Hamas-run administration, the authorities announced the arrest of a leader of a pro-al-Qaeda group, the latest sign of a crackdown on radicals accused of bombing security offices and Internet cafes. (Reuters)
