Israel has killed Sheik Yasin!

I bet John E'finn Kerry would have voted for his body armor and unarmored HumVees.

Most of them probably didn't even know who he was.

Kind of like protestors here in America who are just "protesting something" anything. Even if they don't know what they are protesting.

Great news ping!

What can they do!? They're already sending children through security checkpoints with bombs, smuggling bomb-making materials through tunnels, blowing up buses and cafes and trying to unleash weapons of mass destruction through bombing chemical depots in Ashdod!

I got to put some sort of smiley face next to my posts - for some reason my words read angry.

That's his wheelchair...LOL

I wonder if Hell still has FDR's old wheelchair-access ramp available, or if they just dumped him over the edge.

On second thought, I really don't care, as long as he fries forever.

AP - Witnesses said Israeli helicopters fired three missiles at Yassin and two bodyguards as they left the mosque, killing them instantly. Hamas officials confirmed that he had been killed. Four people were killed and 12 wounded in the attack, witnesses said.

Yussef Haddad, 35, a taxi driver, said he saw the missiles hit and kill Yassin and the bodyguards. "Their bodies were shattered," he said. [snip]

The Palestinian Authority on Monday condemned the assassination. "This is a crazy and very dangerous act. It opens the door wide to chaos. Yassin is known for his moderation and he was controlling Hamas and therefore this is a dangerous, cowardly act," said Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia. [snip]

I think I read early in the thread that even they seem happy!He was a wicked man.

[My Favorite Headache]

Get ready for serious bloodshed in Israel now...on both sides.

[Burkeman1]

Well the death of nobody should be CELEBRATED,

Other than The Christ I agree.

[Slings and Arrows]

Perfect picture.

"G-d is at war with Amalek for all generations."

Good point. We lose Yassin to this world and he gets his 72 virgins in paradise. Everybody wins! Whaat's not to like?

[RepubMommy]

I think thats his name. The old terrorist in the wheel chair.

I have no clue who this is nor his significance in the terrorist world, but Hear hear to them!

[COEXERJ145]

When they do the symbolic parading of the Yassin's coffin, the IDF should call that a target of opportunity.

Good time to test a FAE or maybe some cluster munitions.

ISRAELI helicopters fired missiles at Hamas leader Sheik Ahmed Yassin as he left a mosque near his house at daybreak today, residents said, and Hamas officials and witnesses said he was killed.

Witnesses said Israeli helicopters fired three missiles at Yassin and two bodyguards as they left the mosque, killing them instantly. Hamas officials confirmed that he had been killed. Four people were killed and 12 wounded in the attack, witnesses said.

Yussef Haddad, 35, a taxi driver, said he saw the missiles hit and kill Yassin and the bodyguards. "Their bodies were shattered," he said.

Yassin was by far the most senior Palestinian militant killed in more than three years of Israeli-Palestinian fighting. Thousands of angry Palestinians gathered around his minutes after the attack, calling for revenge against Israel.

Announcing Yassin's death, the Hamas leadership said, "Sharon has opened the gates of hell. and nothing will stop us from cutting off his head", referring to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon."

Ambulances and fire trucks raced to the scene. sirens wailing, and rescue workers were gathering up parts of the shattered bodies.

Yassin, a quadriplegic, founded Hamas in 1987. He was held in Israeli prisons for several years before being released in 1994.

Yassin lived in a modest house in the rundown Sabra neighborhood in Gaza City.

Though he was limited in his movements, and Israel blamed him for inspiring Hamas bombers and attackers who killed hundreds of Israelis, Israeli governments had until now refrained from targeting him, fearing a firestorm of revenge attacks.
