| WND : Hamas looking to fly planes into buildings |
| 2006-05-26 |
| JERUSALEM – Hamas is seeking the ability to attack Israel using small airplanes laden with explosives to be flown 9-11-style into important targets, possibly Tel Aviv skyscrapers, Abu Abdullah, a leader of Hamas' so-called military wing, told WorldNetDaily yesterday. Abdullah is considered one of the most important operational members of Hamas' Izzedine al-Qassam Martyrs Brigades, Hamas' declared "resistance" department. He said his group would not immediately carry out airplane attacks, but that Hamas is preparing for the possibility should a long-term truce it claims to abide by falls apart. Abdullah's statements come after Palestinian security officials told WND they believe Hamas recently smuggled into the Gaza Strip three small airplanes that can carry explosives and be used to attack Israel. They said information indicates the aircraft were purchased from eastern European dealers and that Hamas members received flight training from professionals in the Sudan, Iran and Syria. |

| #8 Heck. If I was isreal I'd sell them the planes. Make a profit and have a guarentee that you can build more and make more money. I'm sure the plane & explosive & idiot pilot will cost more than a missle. |

| #6 This is where the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza makes sense . . . if it's time for retaliation against Hamas, Gaza is one big huge kill box with no friendlies inside. |

| #5 If ever Israel needed justification to take out a full sitting of the new Hamas terrorist government... Just mentioning the plotting of another 9-11 style atrocity should spark vociferous international outrage. Say, are those crickets I'm hearing? |

| #2 "...In February 2003, six Hamas members were reportedly killed in a blast while filling a small aircraft with explosives.. Hamas planned to fly the airplane by remote control into an Israeli target. Hamas ... blamed Israel for the explosion that halted the aircraft attack." is there a negative value on the sympathy meter? |

| #1 Retards, IAF would have their ass in a second. Or an armed UAV would get em. This would be analogous to me and my beer buddies taking on the Yankees for a game of slow pitch softball. |
