GAZA, March 21 (Reuters) - Two Palestinians linked to Hamas were abducted in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, Hamas said, adding that it suspected gunmen from the rival faction Fatah.

The reported seizure of a Hamas political leader and a lecturer at the Islamic University, a Hamas bastion, came shortly after the factions traded fire in the first deadly clash since a Palestinian coalition government was formed on Saturday.
