Bomb Detonated by the Monument of Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa in Jabalya

Yesterday morning, unknown persons detonated a bomb under a monument of Abu
Ali Mustafa, the late Secretary-General of the Popular Front for the
Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) in Jabalya in the northern Gaza Strip. The
monument was partially destroyed.

According to investigations conducted by the Palestinian Centre for Human
Rights, at approximately 03:45 on Saturday, 13 February 2010, unknown
persons detonated a bomb under the monument, which is located at Abu Ali
Mustafa Square in the Be'r al-Na'ja area of Jabalya city. The monument
depicts Abu Ali Mustafa as well as George Habash, founder of the PFLP. The
explosion resulted in the destruction of Habash's portrait. Ten days
earlier, unknown persons had painted the monument with tar.

The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights condemns this attack, which is part
of the state of security chaos plaguing the Occupied Palestinian Territory,
and calls upon the Attorney-General's office to investigate it and bring the
perpetrators to justice.
