'Sheikh Yassin was killed by American money'

[dArKeR]

Dubai - An Islamic website published a statement on Monday purporting to come from an al-Qaeda-linked group vowing revenge on the United States and its allies over Israel's assassination of Hamas leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin.

"We tell Palestinians that Sheikh Yassin's blood was not spilt in vain and call on all legions of Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades to avenge him by attacking the tyrant of the age, America, and its allies," said the statement by Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades carried by the Al Ansar forum website.

It was also published by another Islamic website called Islammemo, which said the letter was received by email and sent to several Arab media outlets.

1. Well, isn't that great news!

Thanks Sharon! Way to piss off everybody. Again.

I'm sure killing the leader of Hamas won't stir up any violence in Jerusalem. Hmmm.... Holy Week is coming up. How convenient. Sheesh. I mean, oi.

2. and so...

I don't see why anyone would be upset considering in this case Israel killed an actual terrorist instead of the civilians it targets all the time.

3. Terrorists groups can rationalize any evil they do

It doesn't really matter what that is.
