JERUSALEM – If Israel launches a ground assault in the Gaza Strip, the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terror group will attack Israelis with chemical and biological weapons the group has developed, according to a pamphlet distributed yesterday by the Brigades.
But sources in the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, speaking on condition of anonymity, said while the group is attempting to acquire biological and chemical agents, their current capabilities in the field still are mostly primitive.
"With the help of Allah, we are pleased to say that we succeeded in developing over 20 different types of biological and chemical weapons, this after a three-year effort," said the Al Aqsa statement, which was released yesterday and made national headlines here today.
"We say to (Prime Minister Ehud) Olmert and (Defense Minister Amir) Peretz: Your threats of invasion do not frighten us. We will surprise you with new weapons you have not faced until now. As soon as an IDF soldier sets foot on Gazan land, we will respond with a new weapon."
The group claimed it was working to add chemical and biological agents to missiles that are regularly launched from the Gaza Strip aimed at nearby Jewish communities.
The Al Aqsa Brigades, the declared "resistance wing" of Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party, is responsible for scores of suicide bombings, shooting attacks and rockets launched from Gaza.
Israeli security officials told WND Al Aqsa's claim of developing more than 20 kinds of chemical and biological agents is "rhetoric." They said Israel has information the group in the past has conducted low-level experiments adding some kinds of chemicals, including cyanide, to suicide belts, but that Palestinian groups currently don't have "serious" chemical or biological capabilities.
They also said Palestinian terror groups currently do not have capabilities to add chemical or biological agents to missiles but that there was a fear some countries, particularly Iran, may be assisting in such efforts.
Sources in the Al Aqsa Brigades told WND the group was experimenting with chemical agents. They claimed they currently have in their weapons arsenal certain agents that can be thrown or shot at civilians in canisters, but they declined to name the specific agents.
One Al Aqsa source said the group's work in Gaza so far has been limited mostly to Al Aqsa members who are studying chemistry at local universities where biological agents are not available and chemical agents are limited.
They said "outside parties" were helping the group add agents to missiles, but would not comment on the current status of the program or name the outside parties.
Palestinian terror groups in the past have discussed adding chemical and biological agents to suicide bomb belts. Mahmoud Abu Tir, a Hamas legislator, was arrested by Israel in the early 1990s and accused of plotting to poison Israeli water supplies.
In a recent WND interview, Abu Tir refused to confirm or deny he was involved in the plot. In 2002, Israeli security forces foiled a plan by Hamas to poison the soda fountain in a popular Jerusalem cafe.
They have admitted to WMD, frag their butts.
Palestinian terror groups = Scumbags
The Israelis have neutron bombs. Stick that in your pamphlet.
well at least we know where some of Saddam's WMD wound up...
Ding, ding, ding.
Well I guess we found that Bekkaa Valley stuff and Syrian stuff that Saddam had to have out of the way four years ago.
If they try to use those things in battle, most of the casualties will be the Palistinians. Chemical weapons require a lot of technology and skill to use effectively without killing your own people. Besides, I am not sure Israel would choose to NOT use some of their nukes if it comes down to that.
In my book, the explicit threat of using WMD is justification enough to invade those genocidal maniacs and return fair play.
I heard on the radio about an hour ago that Israeli troops were moving toward Gaza. One caveat...it was CBS news at the top of the hour.
Maybe [crosses fingers] just maybe this will finally put an end to the radical, rat infested Pali's.
The group claimed it was working to add chemical and biological agents to missiles that are regularly launched from the Gaza Strip aimed at nearby Jewish communities.Time to get serious. No more f-ing around.
Big, big mistake, Mo!
So they are going to fumigate their own anthill?
"Gee, we have all this WMD stuff that Saddam asked us to hold onto for a bit. We don't know what all it does, but it's nasty, and we're itching to try it out!"
RE: Neutron Bombs
If they don't I have always liked lend/lease.
So Israel please.
Take all you want, use all you take, pay for what you use.
W
The Palis have a death wish...
This just confirms the depravity of the Palestinian terrorists minds.
They will just kill themselves with them, they are too crazy to know how to use them without blowback.
"With the help of Allah, we are pleased to say that we succeeded in developing over 20 different types of biological and chemical weapons, this after a three-year effort,"
I fart in your general direction...
why did the u.s. ask israel to give up gaza,and more importantly why did israel do it?wipe these stone age animals out a.s.a.p.and give these people(al-qaeda) something to really gripe about.
I think they say they plan to use belts to hand release them in Israeli crowds.
That gets done and Palestinians will become extinct IMO.
Israel will take all the land as full payment for their terrorism.
the palies (small p used to denote disrespect) need a spanking. End the madness, invite them to resettle in Jordon or other and start the steamroll.
Yup, the Palistinians are incapable of 'developing' anything other than a 14th Century existence. Chances are they acquired chemical weapons from their patron, Saddam.
now, when the wind is blowing just right ... the gassing starts, and of course we *all know* who threated to use them (heh-heh), I mean what an unfortunate *accident* to gas your own people like that ...
This just confirms the depravity of the Palestinian terrorists minds.
Israelis: Tactical nukes if Palestinians use chemical warfare.
Check & checkmate.
If that happens, then it's time for the sandroaches to disappear.
At last, the Israelis will have all the justification they need to end the existence of the Palestinian parasites from off the face of the earth!
My fear then is Iran's reaction.
"Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terror group will attack Israelis with chemical and biological weapons the group has developed"
No WMD's floating around ay Libs? Where did the resourceful Pallies get them from? Syria? Sadam loyalists?
Iran?
I undersand they've been adding rat poison to the nails etc in their suicide belts, but they haven't been getting too many of them under the radar lately. Sure would be nice to see the IDF administer a coup-de-grace to this vipers nest, and darn the international community.
Israel=Standing around like helpless idiots.
level the entire place, make it into a giant pig farm
Gee ... I wonder where the Pali's may have gotten WMDs
Threatening to use gas on the Jews? If that doesn't strike a nerve, I don't know what will.
Now that's some serious chemical agent. Thanks for the grin.
The word palie itself sounds too diminutive, and a "pal" is a friend. I've adopted an unknown FReeper's term "palesite" which captures the parasitical nature of the "colony".
No, they're just taking as much as the Israeli's are allowing them to have.
Yossi Beilin will be suing for peace by the next kidnapping while Uncle Shimon Peres is changing his Depends.
Maybe the IDF can track down where the mysterious cache of WMD's went to? But the sick leftists will deny it anyway.
Those crazy mofos don't care. They'll kill ten of their own (including women and children) to get one Israeli grandmother.
}:-)4
I don't think they care lol
As densly populated as Gaza is, their threat is really kinda sad and almost comical. Not in the sense that innocents will certainly die, but that Al Aqsa is that stupid.
So I am going to make a few strategic guesses.
If you have gas weapons, then Israel should fight on your property, since gas is only effective gainst civilian populations.
Mr. spokesman, you're speaking way over your pay grade.
Bounce the rubble.
