Number One with a bullet
 Nice pic at the link. He looks like the King of Disco... Jenin Ma'an An Israeli undercover unit on Tuesday morning assassinated prominent leader of Islamic Jihad's armed wing the Al-Quds Brigades and his associate during armed confrontations in the northern West Bank town of Jenin. A group of resistance fighters were besieged by the undercover force. An Israeli officer was reportedly injured in the clashes. The Israeli forces also seized nine Palestinians in the area. The assassinated leader was identified as forty-three-year-old Sheikh Khalid Al-Rayiq, also known as Abu Al-Saqir (father of the falcon), from Tulkarem. His associate was named as Muhammad Jawabra, from the town of Kafr Ra'i, south of Jenin. It appears that the "father of the falcon"... flies no more... Eyewitnesses reported that an Israeli officer was moderately wounded and that the two Palestinians were killed by an Israeli shell which was launched at the besieged building where they were stationed. Stationed, hiding, cowering...I suppose it's all relative. A spokesperson of Islamic Jihad described the assassinated leader as the number one resistance fighter in the West Bank. A Numba One. Like the Duke of New York... The bodies of the deceased were transferred to the government hospital in Jenin. How ya doin...where do you want em? The Al-Quds Brigades claimed responsibility on Tuesday for firing a rocket-propelled grenade at an invading Israeli military vehicle in Beit Hanoun, in the northern Gaza Strip. The brigades said the attack was in retaliation for the assassination of 'number one West Bank resistance fighter', Sheikh Khalid Al-Rayiq. The only difference being that, as usual, the Israeli's got who they were gunning for and the Quds boys hit...something...maybe. Posted by: tu3031 2007-10-23 |
