As the world screams about the UN school incident in Gaza, here?s a reminder of what goes on at these places: EXCLUSIVE-Gaza headmaster was Islamic Jihad ?rocket-maker?.
RAFAH, Gaza Strip, May 5 (Reuters) - By day, Awad al-Qiq was a respected science teacher and headmaster at a United Nations school in the Gaza Strip. By night, Palestinian militants say, he built rockets for Islamic Jihad. The Israeli air strike that killed the 33-year-old last week also laid bare his apparent double life and embarrassed a U.N. agency which has long had to rebuff Israeli accusations that it has aided and abetted guerrillas fighting the Jewish state. In interviews with Reuters, students and colleagues, as well as U.N. officials, denied any knowledge of Qiq?s work with explosives. And his family denied he had any militant links at all, despite a profusion of Islami
