Al-Qaeda Affiliate Burns Internet Coffee Shop in Gaza

The latest in a continuing series of updates on the rise of al-Qaeda in Gaza:

On Sunday, gunmen set fire to an Internet coffee shop in Jabaliya in northern Gaza, causing massive damage.

According to the Islamic Swords of Justice, an affiliate of al-Qaeda that claimed responsibility, the owner of the establishment was warned that his business served as a center for "unethical" activity.

Among the Palestinian elite, there is increasing concern that al-Qaeda is becoming a major actor in Gaza.

Pictures of al-Qaeda's former leader in Iraq Abu Musab al-Zarqawi are plastered on walls throughout Gaza.
