Pipe-bomb explodes at Hamas rally in Gaza-witnesses

GAZA, Dec 13 (Reuters) A Palestinian threw a pipe-bomb at a Hamas rally in the Gaza Strip today, wounding a supporter of the governing Islamist group, witnesses said.

Hamas representatives blamed members of the rival Fatah for the attack in Nusseirat refugee camp, which came amid spiralling inter-factional violence. Fatah spokesmen could not immediately be reached for comment.

The Nusseirat rally was held to protest against the killing earlier today of a Hamas judge by gunmen.
