'Blast Wounds Palestinian Intelligence Head'

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - A bomb blast seriously wounded the Palestinian intelligence chief at his headquarters Saturday, in what security officials called an assassination attempt against a key ally of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

A bodyguard was killed and nine other people were wounded in the explosion in an elevator shaft of the heavily guarded compound. The attack came at a time of growing friction between Abbas and the Hamas-led government over control of Palestinian security forces.
