Hamas men killing Al-Qaida rebels caught on tape

Web sites associated with Fatah yesterday released footage of what appears to be Hamas executing rebels from the Al-Qaida affiliated Jund Ansar Allah. The video apparently was taken during clashes between the groups on August 15 in Rafah.

The blurry, jumpy video shows black-clad Hamas militants gathering several men from the rebel group in a mosque courtyard, and then mowing them down in a fierce burst of gunfire. Some of the Jund Ansar Allah men are shown lying motionless and bleeding on the ground.

In two scenes, Hamas militants appear to be shooting captives execution-style at close range. Bodies are seen falling to the ground.

3. Agreed, But too often innocent bystanders die too.

At any rate it's one example of how 'the enemy', however defined, is rarely monolithic, and that the world is usually messed up by rival groups fighting for power, rather than some global conspiracy.
