Swords of Truth
The Swords of Truth is a Palestinian Islamist group based in the Gaza Strip.
In 2007, the group threatened to behead female TV broadcasters who don't wear strict Islamic dress. The threat was sent by e-mail to news organizations: "We will cut throats, and from vein to vein, if needed to protect the spirit and moral of this nation."
The group has previously claimed responsibility for bombing Internet cafes and music shops. The assailants used to detonate small bombs outside businesses at night, causing damage but no injuries.
According to a senior Palestinian security official The Swords of Truth has fewer than 100 members and was formed in 2006.
