Jun 9, 2002 Explosion Rocks Refugee Camp, Injures Dozens The Associated Press JEBALIYA REFUGEE CAMP, Gaza Strip (AP) - A powerful explosion shook a neighborhood in this refugee camp early Monday, destroying one building and damaging nearby homes. At least 25 people were injured, three critically, in the blast, which residents said came from inside the destroyed building. Palestinian officials would not say what caused the blast and tried to prevent journalists from entering the area. Palestinian police worked with flashlights to remove concrete blocks and evacuate the wounded to hospital. A potent smell of gas filled the area. Two floors of the devastated building collapsed on top of each other and rooftops close by also caved in from the blast, which could be heard in nearby Gaza City. Outside al Awda hospital in nearby Beit Lahia people walked outside still dazed from the explosion. Many of the wounded suffered shrapnel wounds from being hit by pieces of flying concrete.

Dozens of Palestinians Wounded by Gaza Blast
Sun Jun 9, 7:41 PM ET

GAZA (Reuters) - Around 40 Palestinians were wounded, eight seriously, by an explosion inside a house in the Jabaliya refugee camp early on Monday, Palestinian residents and security sources said.

They said the cause of the blast was unknown, but that it seriously damaged the house of a Palestinian military intelligence official in the camp.

Ambulances rushed the wounded to hospital and Palestinian security officials said they were opening up an investigation into the cause of the blast which damaged about eight houses.

At least two Palestinians were killed while making a bomb in a house in the same area of the refugee camp about two weeks ago, residents said.

Dozens of Palestinians have been killed while preparing bombs for use against Israel since a Palestinian uprising against Israeli occupation began in September 2000.

I'm still trying to figure out how a reporter in a "refugee camp" defines 'building' and 'homes'...

I am second to no one in condemning such Muslim violence. This is truly appalling and upsetting.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Who here wants to bet that the Islamic media will say that the Israelis did this?
