Credit: Reuters/Mohammed Salem By Nidal al-Mughrabi GAZA | Tue Apr 19, 2011 11:50am EDT GAZA (Reuters) - Hamas security forces in the Gaza Strip exchanged gunfire on Tuesday with the suspected killers of a pro-Palestinian Italian activist during an operation to capture the fugitives, a security source and witnesses said. The gunfight in the Nuseirat refugee camp was briefly interrupted by an attempt to negotiate the surrender of the al Qaeda sympathizers believed to have killed Vittorio Arrigoni, who was found strangled on Friday. The talks failed and an explosion was heard as shooting resumed between the Hamas forces and the gunmen who were holed up in a four-storey building in Nuseirat, a refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip. The Hamas-run Interior Ministry declared the area a closed security zone and blocked roads leading to the scene. "The operation is under way," a security official said. The radical Islamists had abducted Arrigoni on Thursday and threatened to execute him unless their leader, detained by Hamas last month, was freed. Arrigoni's killing was an unprecedented challenge to Hamas, an Islamist movement which has governed the Gaza Strip since 2007, when it seized control of the coastal territory from forces loyal to President Mahmoud Abbas. Hamas is vehemently opposed to Salafists who espouse a more radical form of political Islam and appear to be attracting recruits, including from among its own ranks. The Interior Ministry had posted pictures on its website of three suspects sought in the killing. A security source said they included a Jordanian national. It was not clear whether all three were in the building. The security forces had entered and appeared to be in control of the bottom floors, residents said. Arrigoni, 36, had lived in Gaza since arriving in 2008 aboard a humanitarian aid boat that Israel had admitted despite imposing a blockade on the territory. The security forces are already holding two suspects. Hundreds of Palestinians took part in a symbolic funeral for Arrigoni on Monday.
