Fatah/Hamas Gun Battle "Not Serious"

Via World Tribune:

RAMALLAH — Tensions remains high between rival security forces in the Palestinian Authority despite U.S. efforts that include training.

On Aug. 7, officers from rival PA forces engaged in a shootout just outside the conference hall in Bethlehem. The sources said officers from the Presidential Guard and General Intelligence began shooting at each other and one person was injured.

"The fight started when one of the officers parked his vehicle in a spot claimed by another," a security source said.

..PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, who also heads Fatah, later acknowledged the gun battle, but said it was not serious.

Gun battle not serious? Really?

Hat Tip: Ronin.
