Nobody likes Amjad Abu An-Naja
2008-10-21
Gaza – Ma’an – The Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, said they thwarted an assassination attempt against one of their leaders in the southern Gaza Strip on Tuesday. The Al-Qassam Brigades spokesperson told Ma’an that unknown persons planted a remote control at the home of Amjad Abu An-Naja in the Ma’in neighborhood in the east of the city of Khan Younis. Al-Qassam gunmen spotted the would-be assassins, fired and them and chased them away.
Scram, assassins! And let that be a lesson to yas!
The perpetrators were spotted again near the Abdul-Aziz Ar-Rantisi Mosque. They fired at the Al-Qassam men and ran away.
Where do you think they went, Mahmoud?
Just a hunch, but let's check out the mosque.
How do you do it, Mahmoud...

“A bomb was found in the area, and it was angled towards Abu An-Naja home. The attackers planned to detonate the bomb by a cell phone,” the spokesperson explained. De facto government sappers disconnected the bomb.
I don't know if I want any guys disarming any bombs near me with "de facto" in their job description.
The spokesperson accused “fifth columnists” of attempting to fan the flames of the intra-Palestinian rivalry in order to throw off the Egyptian-sponsored reconciliation effort. He highlighted that Abu An-Naja was targeted several times by Israeli forces who demolished his house. He also survived another assassination attempt when a traitor disguised as a merchant tried to sell him booby-trapped ammunition.
Maybe next time, Amjad...
