PA police uncover weapons lab in West Bank mosque
14.04.2009
Palestinian police said Tuesday they had recently uncovered an explosives lab in a West Bank mosque.
Police spokesman Adnan Damiri said eight suspects had been arrested since the discovery several days ago.
West Bank police loyal to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas have been operating against rival Hamas movement for two years. Hamas seized control of Gaza in 2007, ousting Abbas' Fatah movement from the coastal Strip, and Abbas fears a repeat in the West Bank.
Damiri said Tuesday that the lab had two bombs and was hidden under a mosque in the town of Qalqiliya. He wouldn't say which militant group ran the lab, but claimed it was part of attempts to topple Abbas' government. He provided no evidence.
