Abbas unhurt in Gaza shooting

GAZA CITY (CNN) -- Palestine Liberation Organization chairman Mahmoud Abbas escaped injury on Sunday after masked gunmen opened fire near him inside a tent where people were mourning Yasser Arafat.

Two Abbas bodyguards were killed, Gaza hospital sources said. Witnesses and medical sources said at least 10 people were injured in the shooting.

Abbas also said that the tent was crowded and emotions were high. He said the men were pointing their weapons up and shooting into the air, which isn't unusual. "You can see it in the weddings here," Abbas said.
