Israeli helicopters fire missiles
in Gaza, killing two militants
BY IBRAHIM BARZAQ
T+fK ASSOCIATED I'llKSS
GAZA CITY, GAZA —Israeli he
licopters fired missiles at a group
of armed men sitting near the
Gaza City beach Sunday, killing
four men hours after Israel’s army
chief said Hamas militants were
targets for “liquidation.”
Two of those killed were
Hamas fighters but the identities
of the others were not immediate
ly known. Weapons were found
next to the decapitated bodies.
The attack occurred just 200
yards from the office of
Palestinian security chief
Mohammed Dahlan.
Israel’s army chief said only
hours earlier that all members of
the Islamic militant group Hamas
are “potential targets for liquida
tion.”
The attack came three days af
ter Hamas leafier Ismail Abu
Shanab was killed in a similar
strike, in retaliation for a Hamas
bombing that killed 21 people, in
cluding five Americans, on a
Jerusalem bus.
The military strike came as
Palestinian leaders were locked
in a power struggle over com
mand of their security forces.
The Israeli military had no im
mediate comment on Sunday’s
strike, during which helicopters
fired at least three missiles.
Hamas supporters who entered
the hospital where the victims’
bodies were taken identified two
of them as Hamas fighters Ahmed
Aishtawi and Wahid Hamaf. The
other two had not yet been
identified.
The current political crisis be
tween Palestinian leader Yasser
Arafat and his rival, U.S.-backed
Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas,
was triggered by Arafat’s refusal
to relinquish control of security
forces as demanded by the United
States in a push to dismantle
armed groups.
It appears unlikely Arafat will
back down since his authority
would be considerably weakened
if he gives up command over se
curity.
He controls several key securi
ty branches, while Abbas controls
the rest.
Israel has accused Arafat of in
volvement in terrorism, and the
United States has ignored the vet
eran Palestinian leader for
months, seeking instead to work
with Abbas, who was appointed
in April under U.S. pressure.
Arafat also appeared to flex his
muscles Sunday, when a loyal
commander toured Gaza.
Palestinian officials said Abdul
Razak Majadah ordered local se
curity chiefs to maintain stabili
ty, including along Gaza’s north
ern border.
Israel has gathered armored ve
hicles close to the border, where
rockets and mortars have regu
larly been fired into Israel and at
Jewish settlements in Gaza.
In a meeting Sunday, Israeli se
curity officials dismissed the
Palestinian raids as fiction and af
firmed that Israel will continue
acting against militants, a securi
ty source said.

Sanford
criticized
for giving
jobs to
donors
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBIA — Almost half of
the people Gov. Mark Sanford
appointed in his first si?0
months in office were donors
to his campaign.
According to analysis by The
State newspaper, that’s twice as
many donor appointments as
made by Sanford’s predecessor
Jim Hodges during the same
timeframe in his term.
Sanford defended his ap
pointments as friends and qual
ified people for the positions to
which they were named.
Critics, however, including
Hodges, say it looks like
Sanford is doing what he ac
cused Hodges of during the
campaign — doling out ap
pointments to people who gave
money to his campaign.
According to the newspa
per’s analysis, 81 of Sanford’^
167 appointments donate ™
money to his campaign. In all,
the governor collected $360,000
from those appointees, their
families and the companies
they control.
In contrast, Hodges named
36 campaign donors to posi
tions during his first six
months — about a quarter of
the appointments he made dur
ing that period. In all, those ap
pointees gave about $62,000 to
Hodges’ campaign.
“You obviously want to make
certain that people are comfort
able with the direction you want
to take the agency,” Hodges
said.
But, the former governor
said, it looked hypocritical for
Sanford to appoint so man^t
donors to state positions wheir
he criticized the Hodges admin
istration for doing it.
It's not.
