Yasser Abu Ayish Rolls Into Hell.
2004-02-02
Israeli soldiers killed four Palestinian militants, including a one-armed leader of the militant Islamic Jihad group, in an intense gun battle Monday, Palestinian witnesses and doctors said. The army said troops came under fire as they attempted to arrest the militia leader, Yasser Abu Ayish, at his home and returned fire. The army confirmed three gunmen had been killed, while one soldier was lightly injured. Palestinian witnesses said four people were killed and the militant’s house in the Rafah refugee camp was destroyed. The militant leader was identified as Abu Ayish, whose legs and arm were blown off last year when a rocket he was building exploded prematurely.
It’s that red wire/black wire thing again.
Abu Ayish, who was using a wheelchair, was the leader of the Islamic Jihad military wing in the Rafah area, and was mainly involved in building homemade rockets. He was high on Israel’s wanted list.
"Was" being the key phrase.
Palestinians residents said Abu Ayish and a brother, as well as local leaders of the militant groups Hamas and Al Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, had been killed.
Sounds like they broke up a meeting.
Thousands of people, including hundreds of gunmen, streamed to a local mosque for a funeral later Monday. "We will retaliate in the next 24 hours," one Al-Aqsa militant said over a loudspeaker.
Of course you will, we didn’t expect anything less.

#6  I am disapointed in a way. Before he died I wanted to see Yassin and Ayish battle it out in some kind of wheelchair chariot race pulled by a four poodle team. They could have worn togas.

Should've dropped a J-Dam in the middle.
