Tension erupts between Fatah, Hamas in Gaza

From Yahoo News:

GAZA (Reuters) - A bomb blew up outside the house of a senior Palestinian security commander in the Gaza Strip on
Wednesday, increasing tensions between President Mahmoud
Abbas's Fatah faction and the militant Islamic group Hamas.
The attack in the southern town of Rafah was the first
against a leader of the Palestinian security service, which is
dominated by Fatah, since Hamas won the January 25
parliamentary election by a landslide.
The target of the bomb blamed Hamas who denied involvement.
It blew off the front door of the house of Suleiman Abu
Mutleq, director-general of the Preventive Security Agency in
the Gaza Strip, Palestinian officials said.
"I accuse Hamas and its leadership of the attack on my
house. A group from Hamas's armed wing (Izz-el-Deen al-Qassam)
detonated a 3-kg (seven lb) explosive device against my home,"
Abu Mutleq told Reuters.
