Gaza Women Warned of Immodesty - Khaled Abu ToamehA group calling itself the Just Swords of Islam issued a warning to Palestinian women in Gaza over the weekend that they must wear the hijab or face being targeted by the group's members. The group also claimed responsibility for attacks on 12 Internet cafes over the past few days.
The group said its followers last week threw acid at the face of a young woman who was dressed "immodestly" in the center of Gaza City.
