GAZA CITY - Israel Airforce helicopters fired missiles at Hamas leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin's car as it left his house for a mosque at daybreak Monday, residents said, and mosque loudspeakers said he was killed.
Ambulances raced to the scene, and mosques in the area amplified the sound of Quranic verses, as announcements were made calling Yassin a "martyr," meaning he had been killed. Gunfire was heard in the Sabra neighborhood where Yassin lives.
Israel has been carrying out an offensive in the Gaza Strip against Hamas militants since a double suicide bombing attack in the port of Ashdod on March 14. The attack, which killed 10 Israelis, was carried out by two Palestinians who infiltrated into Israel from Gaza.

I guess this means that sh*t eatin' grin is wiped off his rotten terrorist face forever. Can we scatter his ashes over the New York Times building?

To mark the occasion, I'm enjoying a nice Talisker single malt.
A toast to the Israeli military!

Maybe this is a sign that Sharon is taking some of the
UNTOUCHABLES in the terrorist community off the no hit list. Could ARAFART be next, one can only hope.

In his honor maybe I'll take a big dump. Towards Mecca of course.

Hope Israel is ready for revenge. The Israelis could very effectively partially fund their operation if they'd issue a set of HAMAS playing cards like the ones the US army came up with for the Iraqi leadership. They'd be particularly helpful for Americans and others trying to keep track.
Hey, if the proceeds only funded the purchase of one Hellfire missile, it'd be worth it. And appropriate!

"As I was exiting the mosque, I saw this strange light, and then a pain entered my body which just seemed to explode. Made me feel what a homicide bomber feels. Not good. Should have changed my life. Should have gone into wheelchair repair. Too late now". Yassin ain't laughin anymore.
