Outrage over killing of Gaza boys

Outrage over killing of Gaza boys: "The killing of three sons of a top intelligence officer in Gaza has caused widespread outrage among Palestinians.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said the attack by gunmen in Gaza City was 'an ugly and inhuman crime'.

'Words stop at the extent of this crime,' said the children's father, Baha Balusheh, who is linked to Mr Abbas's Fatah party.

The gunmen fired dozens of bullets at the car in which the children, aged six to 10, were travelling to school.

An adult was also killed in the attack which took place in a street crowded with children."

Emphasis Mine
