Islamic radicals from an al-Qaida-inspired group, Jund Ansar Allah, or the Soldiers of the Companions of God, defied Gaza's Hamas rulers by declaring the territory an "Islamic emirate" at Friday prayers. Shortly after, a gunbattle broke out between the militants in the mosque and Hamas forces which killed about 22 and injured more than 200 about 40 of them are criticaly. Photo By Abed Rahim Khatib
