Hamas: no color for women



Hamas police and supporters beat professors and students of Al Azhar University, wounding several, witnesses said. The school has been raided five times since Hamas took control of Gaza.

A number of female students were attacked by outsiders, many armed with clubs. The women who were wounded were all wearing colorful headscarves, in deference to Islamic rules of modesty, but not the more conservative uniform worn by female students at the nearby Islamic University that is run by Hamas.
