Militant group claims responsibility for Gaza killing

A Palestinian militant group, the Popular Resistance Committees, today claimed responsibility for killing a former Gaza security chief in his home.

Moussa Arafat was a cousin of the late leader, Yasser Arafat.

A spokesman for the PRC, Mohammed Abdel Al, said the group would hold a news conference later in the day to provide more details. Abdel Al, widely known as Abu Abir, referred to Arafat as a “collaborator”.
