Hamas founder under house arrest Palestinian police have put the founder of the militant Hamas under house arrest. It is Yasser Arafat's boldest move yet against the violent Islamic group. Witnesses said a Palestinian policeman entered Yassin's home in Gaza City. Yassin, the spiritual leader of the militant group, has claimed responsibility for dozens of attacks against Israelis. He is a quadriplegic who is confined to a wheelchair. Palestinian security officials said only relatives would be permitted to visit him and his telephone lines would be cut. Hamas claimed responsibility for two weekend suicide attacks in Jerusalem and Haifa that killed 25 people and the three bombers. Yassin was in an Israeli prison for several years, but was released in 1997 in the aftermath of a botched Israeli attempt to assassinate a Hamas leader in Jordan.
