Hamas security said on Saturday that the leader of an al-Qaida-inspired group in the Gaza Strip was killed in a fierce gun battle. A Hamas security official said Saturday morning that Abdel-Latif Moussa, the leader of Jund Ansar Allah was killed by an explosion while fighting Hamas forces in the southern Gaza town of Rafah. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the press.
