| Muhanid Taher, Nablus Hamas head, has been iced |
| 2002-06-30 |
| Nablus Hamas head Muhanid Taher, 26, was killed by IDF troops in a targeted interception in the northern West Bank city earlier today. Taher, leader of the group's Izzadin Kassam military wing, has been on Israel's most wanted list for four years, and was responsible for planning the homicide bombing on a bus in southern Jerusalem on June 18. 19 passengers were killed, and over 70 wounded in the blast on the crowded morning commuter line. Not bad. The bastard lived for 12 days after the attack... Taher is also charged with being behind the Tel Aviv Dolfinarium attack in June of last summer and the Netanya Park Hotel attack on Pessah this year. This must be about the last of them, since the Shin Bet set out to hut them all down... Another Hamas operative, Immad Darawze, was also kiled in the army operation. A third Hamas member, Amr Masri, was wounded, and was taken to a hospital in Israel, Israel Radio reported. The IDF later razed the structure where the three were found. Guess IDF wasn't in a good mood. Maybe the Bad Guys shoulda dressed some babies up as suicide bombers, just to lighten things up... |
