'Al-Qaeda' demands Yassin revenge

A STATEMENT published on an Islamist website today purporting to be from al-Qaeda urged retaliation against the US and its allies for Israel's killing of Hamas spiritual leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin.

"Sheikh Yassin's blood will not have been shed in vain - we call on all the Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades to avenge the sheikh of the Palestinian resistance by striking the tyrant of the century America and its allies," said the statement carried by the www.al-ansar.biz website.

The Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades take their name from an al-Qaeda leader killed in Washington's 2001 onslaught in Afghanistan and is a name regularly used in communiques from the Islamic militant network to its cells around the world.

There was no immediate way of establishing the authenticity of the latest statement.

I suppose there are people who believe roaches don't exist while the lights are off.

This is the same group that took credit for the power blackout on the East Coast of the US in the fall, and more recently took credit for the Madrid bombings in a letter that was generally agreed to be fake.

They are scared.

Let's hope they run like rabbits back to their holes.

tyrant of the century

Wow, we are just a couple of years into the century and Al-Q says we are already "tyrant of the century". Keep up the good work everybody and maybe we can hit "tyrant of the millenium"!! ;-)

Gotta light?

Now that's funny!

How appalling! Wasting $20 worth of explosives on a $2 head...

[Enduring Freedom]

This group just declared war on the United States.

DESTROY THEM

[Agnes Heep]

Hammed and Ahmed may be ready to die for Islam, but Yassir sure ain't.

[Enduring Freedom]

Does this guy want to leave this world soon?

No problem.

But how about volunteering for organ donation instead of making a mess?

Gives new meaning to the phrase "This really blows my mind".

'tis true, and we can certainly hope. They've got to be utterly stunned, right now. They've gotten away with ignoring and acting against so many rules, negotiations and timetables and for so long -- this has got to be quite the shock for them. And a shock, IMO, long overdue.

You could be right.
