| Iran's judiciary chief, Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi-Shahrudi, held talks with leaders of Palestinian radical groups in the Syrian capital on Sunday, Palestinian officials said. "We are trying to draw up a joint stand to face up to the US-Israeli plans against the region and the Palestinian cause," the head of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command, Ahmed Jibril, told AFP. He said the talks with the Iranian official also covered "the resistance inside Palestine". Hashemi-Shahrudi likewise met Abdullah Shallah, head of Islamic Jihad, Imad el-Alami of Hamas, another radical Islamic movement, and officials of the Democratic and Popular Fronts for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP and PFLP). Abu Mussa, head of the Fatah-Intifada, a dissident group which broke off from Yasser Arafat's mainstream Fatah movement, also took part. On his first visit to Syria, which hosts the radical groups, Iran's judiciary chief earlier held talks with the spiritual leader of Lebanon's Shiite Muslim fundamentalists, Sheikh Mohammad Hussein Fadlallah. He already met Saturday with Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, who heads Lebanon's Shiite fundamentalist movement Hamas, said the group which is supported by both Tehran and Damascus. Cheeze. This guy's itinerary reads like the Stud Book of Terrorism. And he's head of their judiciary! "Axis of Evil" sounds... inadequate. |

| #1 So -all of these guys are in one place at one time, and theres not one good sniper of our anywhere near the place? May I ask (politely);WHY NOT? Wouldnt it solve a whole lotta problems real quickly? Sure would be a hell of a setback if, say one of these guys was to fall down and get hurt, wouldnt it? Put real damper on the weekend, id imagine. |
