Hamas cracks down on radical Gaza Islamic group

None

An ultraconservative Islamic group says Hamas security forces have detained 20 of its members in a crackdown on rocket fire from Gaza on southern Israel.

 

The little-known group – the Mujahadeen Shura Council of Jerusalem – posted word of the sweep on its website on Wednesday. It said its members were rounded up this week "to prevent rocket fire from Gaza." (AP)
