| Israeli Prime Minister orders Mossad to place Islamic Jihad Head on top of hit list |
| 2002-11-18 |
| Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has given an order to assassinate Islamic Jihad chief, Ramadan Abdullah Shalah, according to a report in Londonâs Sunday Times. The report claims that Sharon on Saturday ordered the Israeli Intelligence agents to move the Jihad Head, to the top of its hit list. Number one with a bullet. Shalah resides in the Syrian capital of Damascus. Israeli Defense Minister Saul Mofaz has joined the instruction to exert all efforts to harm the Islamic Jihad. âWe shall hit terror, with an emphasis on the Islamic Jihad and the leaders of terror, wherever they shall beâ, Mofaz said during a meeting, which was held in his office following Fridayâs shooting attack in the West Bank town of Hebron. âThey must be found, from all organizations, and we must lay our hands on them.â It's nice to be wanted. The Al Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad, claimed responsibility for the Hebron attack. So did Hamas, but we'll let you share. Secretary General of the Islamic Jihad, Dr. Shalah told the Qatar-based Al Jazeera that the attack was committed to put pressure on the Palestinian Authority, so that the latter would end its contacts with Hamas on ending attacks against Israel. âThis is a message to Hamas and to Fatah,â he said, âWe donât agree with their understandings.â They just want to kill some Isrealis, we want to kill everyone! |
