| Report: Israel plotting to assassinate top Hamas leaders |
| 2008-01-15 |
| Ma'an – The London-based Al-Hayat newspaper quoted an anonymous Palestinian official saying that a European country had told Hamas leaders that Israel decided to assassinate Hamas' three top leaders, Isma'il Haniyeh, Khalid Mash'al and Mahmoud Az-Zahhar. According to the source, Israel had delayed the assassination until the end of US president George Bush's visit to the region. He also said that Hamas and the de facto government in the Gaza Strip are taking the issue seriously, imposing intensive security to protect their leaders. In the same regard, Al-Hayat quoted Hamas security sources as saying that they thwarted an explosion in the park where deposed Prime Minister Haniyeh was honoring the Gazan hajj pilgrims. They said a young Palestinian man was arrested holding a bag containing three kilograms of TNT, which was designed to kill Haniyeh. |

| #10 But Hamas leaders don't brush their teeth, wipe their arses, use soap, or wear underwear. We need another plan. How about dip all the $100 notes in the area in arsenic then? |

| #6 Or they would just hit them with a missile and have the car swarm after. |

| #5 If the Mossad wanted the top Hamas leaders dead, they would poison their toothpaste. Or toilet paper. Or shampoo. Or soap. Or underwear. Muqtada Al Sadr knows this and has taken measures to avoid every attempt at his assasination thus far. Let's just hope he doesn't figure out that the next attempt will involve his favorite ewe. |

| #4 They said a young Palestinian man was arrested holding a bag containing three kilograms of TNT, which was designed to kill Haniyeh. Sounds more like Paleo vs Paleo but blame the Jews kind of PR. I think if we really wanted to kill them, we could do it, convert or in public. |

| #3 If Meshaal gets it, you can bet *his* UN tribunal will find the Real True Killers before they even get to afternoon tea. |
