Two Israeli security guards injured in terror attack

Two Israeli security guards were injured tonight by 'Palestinian' terrorists in the Sheikh Saad neighborhood near Armon Hanetziv here in Jerusalem. The two terrorists were killed by the return fire, as was a 'Palestinian' bystander. But the most interesting part is who sponsored this attack:

A Border Guard officer and a security guard sustained moderate to serious injuries Saturday night when two Palestinian terrorists opened fire at forces guarding the construction of the security fence in Jerusalem’s Sheikh Said neighborhood, near Armon Hanatziv.

Both gunmen were shot dead in the ensuing exchanges of fire with security forces at the scene. A Palestinian bystander who was critically injured in the incident later died of his wounds.

Magen David Adom emergency services reported that the Israelis were evacuated to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital.

The al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, ['moderate' 'Palestinian' President Mahmoud Abbas Abu Mazen's CiJ] Fatah's military wing, claimed responsibility for the attack.

But there's a difference between Fatah and Hamas.

Update 10:07 PM

JPost is now reporting four Israelis injured in this attack.

JPost also made the connection directly to Abu Mazen without me inserting it.
