| Son of Hamas Bigshot was Israeli agent |
| 2010-02-24 |
| The son of a leading Hamas figure, who famously converted to Christianity, served for over a decade as the Shin Bet security service's most valuable source in the militant organization's leadership, Haaretz has learned. Mosab Hassan Yousef is the son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, a Hamas founder and one of its leaders in the West Bank. The intelligence he supplied Israel led to the exposure of a number of terrorist cells, and to the prevention of dozens of suicide bombings and assassination attempts on Israeli figures. The exclusive story will appear in this Friday's Haaretz Magazine, and Yousef's memoir, "Son of Hamas" (written with Ron Brackin) will be released next week in the United States. Yousef, 32, became a devout Christian 10 years ago and now lives in California after fleeing the West Bank in 2007 and going public with his conversion. |

| #4 Sheikh Hassan Yousef is one of the major leaders of the militant Palestinian organization Hamas. He was arrested in September 2005 for membership in a terrorist organization and is currently in Israeli prison. Ooooh. I'll bet this makes things on the yard...awkward. |
