  Fatah gunmen threaten to kill rivals - Africa & Middle East - International Herald Tribune
The Al Aksa Martyrs Brigades accused the Hamas leaders of "sedition" and said they would be killed so "these filthy people can be made an example." The Aksa group has carried out many attacks against Israel and has also been involved in the internal Palestinian fighting in recent years.
The leaders of Hamas and Fatah are still prepared to discuss a unity government for the Palestinians, he said, and the threats by Al Aksa did not express the sentiments of the Fatah leadership.
Al Aksa did not say why it chose the Hamas leaders cited in its statement.

One of the terrorists, Hassan Al Madhun, was active in the Al Aksa Brigades, the military wing of the Fatah, the party of Palestinian Authority chief Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen).

In the days of ’Abd al Malik, all the gates of the mosque were covered with plates of gold and of silver.

 Arafat Responsible For Ongoing Terror, Israel Says -- 01/08/2003
Hamas and the Al Aksa Martyrs' Brigades, the military wing of Arafat's Fatah-Tanzim faction both claimed responsibility for the double suicide bombing in Tel Aviv on Sunday.
Members of the Al Aksa Martyrs' Brigades cells understand by the signals they are getting that it is "within the framework of Palestinian interests" to carry out attacks, Fighel said.
The Al Aksa Martyrs' Brigades, named after the Al Aksa mosque on the Temple Mount or Haram al Sharif in Jerusalem, first appeared by that name at the beginning of the current intifadah more than two years ago.

 Al Aksa Tunnel Riots of 1996
Last month, Sheikh Ktheirat and the Islamist mayor of the Israeli-Arab town of Umm al Fahm, Sheikh Raed Salah, thoroughly searched the underground and now-restored prayer-ground known as the Marwani mosque and found out that tunnels were indeed being excavated and that their openings were only covered with earth and stones.
Reacting to reports of new tunnels beneath the Mosque, Sheikh Muhammed Hussein, Director-General of al Masjidul Aqsa, said that the Israelis were trying desperately to uncover alleged ancient Jewish sites, adding that all of their excavations to that effect have resulted in nothing.
The Muslim official stressed that the entire area of the Haram al Sharif of Jerusalem, as indeed all of the town, was an inalienable Wakf property and that the Israelis had no right being there in the first place.

The Masjid al Aksâ (the Further Mosque with the Haram Area) lies at the south-eastern corner of the Holy City.
This Mosque is even more beautiful than that of Damascus, for during the building of it they had for a rival and as a comparison the great Church (of the holy Sepulchre) belonging to the Christians at Jerusalem, and they built this to be even more magnificent than that other.
Now when the Khalif of that day (who was Al Mahdi) obtained news of this, he inquired and learned that the sum at that time in the treasury would in no wise suffice to restore the Mosque.

In February, HonestReporting documented the media's failure to describe the close relationship between the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades ― one of the most deadly Palestinian terrorist organizations ― and Yassir Arafat's ruling Fatah party.

"The Arab satellite broadcasters Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya both turned us down," he said, sitting beneath the seal of Hamas, which depicts the Dome of the Rock, which shares the Temple Mount with Al Aksa Mosque, between crossed swords and an idealized green map of Palestine.
In 2003, after the Palestinian Authority granted Hamas a broadcast license covering both radio and television, the group started the Voice of Al Aksa, which quickly became one of the most popular radio stations in the Gaza Strip.

Later the site of al-Aqsa was restricted to the mosque area at the southern end of the Temple Mount (the site of the current Al Aqsa Mosque).
The original mosque, probably located on the site where Omar first prayed when he arrived in Jerusalem in 638, was built by the Umayyid Caliph al-Walid in the early 8th century.
