Credit: Reuters/YouTube By Nidal al-Mughrabi GAZA | Fri Apr 15, 2011 10:27am EDT GAZA (Reuters) - Hamas found the body Friday of a pro-Palestinian Italian activist who was killed by al Qaeda sympathizers in the Gaza Strip, raising questions about the Islamist group's control over the beleaguered enclave. Two men were arrested and others were being sought for the abduction and killing of Vittorio Arrigoni, 36, who was found strangled in an abandoned house Friday, Hamas officials said. A Jihadist Salafi group in Gaza aligned with al Qaeda had threatened Thursday to execute Arrigoni unless their leader, detained by Hamas last month, was freed. It was an unprecedented challenge for Hamas, whose diehard hostility to Israel has deepened the isolation and poverty of Gaza, home to 1.5 million Palestinians. "Gaza is safe and I want to assure all visitors to Gaza that they are safe and secure," Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas prime minister, told a French journalist. "The crime that took place was an isolated incident ... and we will enforce the law against the perpetrators." Saeb Erekat, an aide to U.S.-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, whose Fatah faction was driven out of Gaza by Hamas in 2007, called the killing "a dark page in Palestinian history" and appealed for national reconciliation. Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum denounced the crime as an attempt "to harm international solidarity with besieged Gaza and to damage the image of the Palestinian people." But there was also a shiver of fear that radicals who want Gaza to be an Islamic theocracy are bold enough to challenge Hamas over what they consider its lack of religious fervor. There was clear outrage amongst ordinary people in Gaza over the cold-blooded killing of the Italian activist who had helped local fishermen and farmers. "WE WILL STAY" Arrigoni had lived in Gaza since arriving aboard a humanitarian aid boat that Israel had admitted despite imposing a blockade on the territory. "Vittorio was here for the Palestinian people, and they killed somebody who was here for them," fellow Gaza activist Silvia Todeschini, also from Italy, told Reuters. "They will not kick us out. We will stay." Palestinians liaising with Italian diplomats said Arrigoni's body would be repatriated via Israel Sunday. Hamas vehemently opposes Salafists who espouse a more extreme form of Islam and appear to be attracting recruits -- including from among its own ranks. 1 2 Next World Italy Tweet this Share this Link this Digg this Email Reprints We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
