AFTER MONTHS OF RELATIVE CALM, A TERROR STRIKE TO THE HEART OF JERUSALEM.
The Palestinian Islamic movement, Hamas, became Friday the second radical Palestinian group to claim responsibility for a suicide bus bombing in Jerusalem that left 10 people dead as well as the attacker.
(Hamas doesn’t want to be left out of credit for Bus Bombings obviously ever)
The Islamist movement’s armed wing issued a statement in which it said that Ali Munir Yussef Jihara was one of its members and that he had “activated his explosives belt on the number 19 bus transporting Zionist usurpers.”
(What a hero- his mom and pop must be so proud)
The Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades said the attack near the official residence of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was “a clear message to the Zionist war criminal” after the killing of eight Palestinians on the southern outskirts of Gaza City on Wednesday by Israeli troops.
(Yep I’ll be that really scared Sharon-it probably won’t piss him off right?)
Hamas published on its website Friday a picture of the bomber who was wearing a band with the incripition “the Al-Qassam Brigades”.
(How about a pic of his house after the Israelis destroy it-or a video of the demolition)
The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, a radical offshoot of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat’s Fatah movement, had claimed responsibility for the attack on Thursday. But Hamas condemned what it called the “hasty claim” by the organisation.
(Do I see a small fray here between the bombers beginning mmmmmmm. Bombers bombing other bombers- that would be interesting)
The two groups carried out a joint suicide attack at the Erez border crossing between Gaza and Israel earlier this month.
(Another well planned mission to endear themselves to the Israelis)
Jihara was a 24-year-old policeman from the Ayda refugee camp in the Bethlehem region of the West Bank.
(Well he won’t be on COPS again)
He was the nephew of Jihad Jihara, one of 13 Palestinians expelled to European countries after a siege at Bethlehem’s Church of the Nativity in May 2002.
(Oh ya I remember those guys- hid in a church and used it as a fortress-It’s ok to use other peoples religious places since they are all infidels anyways right?)
