Gazan Welcome for Bush: American School Bombed

A Burdensome Stone ARUTZ SHEVA (Israeli National News) - By Ezra HaLevi - January 10, 2008 Arab terrorists bombed the American School in Gaza on Thursday, following US President Bush’s demands that the PA give up terrorism. Three men reportedly fired a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) at the second floor of the school on Thursday morning, shortly before students arrived for classes. The school’s security guards had been told to leave the premises prior to the attack. They complied and the school’s art facility was destroyed. The U.S.-funded school is located near the village of Beit Lahiya. Most of its American teachers left Gaza when Hamas came to power, fearing attack. The students at the school come from wealthy families and classes take place in English. Many will study at American universities after graduation. This is the second time this year that the school has been attacked. Last April, the facility was set on fire by arsonists, while prior to that, an American guest and two teachers at the school were kidnapped and later released. - - - - http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/124878 FAIR USE NOTICE: This blog contains copyrighted material the use of which has not always been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.
