| [Ma'an] The Fatah-aligned Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades named names on Thursday, identifying four PA officials who they said were behind the 2005 liquidation of a leader within the hard boy wing. Former Fatah strongman in Gazoo Muhammad Dahlan topped the list, along with PA security forces leaders Naser Yousef, Samir Al-Mashharawi, and Rashid Abu Shabak. The four, Al-Aqsa front man said, were responsible for the death of Hassan Madhoun. Speaking from Gazoo City, the hard boy wing leader called for a revolution Friday, and a "day of anger" against the "corrupted and the conspirators with the occupation." Madhoun was > killed on 11 January 2005 along with a Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,-affiliated Al-Qassam Brigades member Fawzi Abu Qaraan. The two were in a car with government license plates when they were hit. Resistance factions in Gazoo at the time vowed retaliation on Israel. "There will be many chances to defend this crime," Al-Aqsa said, adding that a chance would be taken "in the coming days." On Tuesday, Al-Jazeera and The Guardian leaked documents that quoted Israeli officials asking Paleostinians to assassinate Madhoun. According to handwritten Arabic notes obtained by the Qatar-based news station, former Israeli Defense Minister Sha'ul Mofaz asked the former PA interior minister Nasser Yasouf to assassinate the fighter. "We know his address ... Why don't you kill him?" Mofaz said. "He is not Hamas and you can kill him." Later, Yousef answers that "We're working" on taking action against Madhoun and others. "The environment is not easy, our capabilities are limited, and you haven't offered anything." Addressing the reports, the Al-Aqsa fighter said the brigades learned "noting new" from the leaked documents, but analysis of the report "proved the PA involvement in the crime." PA officials have called into question the validity of the 1,600 documents which cover 10 years of negotiations between Israeli and Paleostinian officials, while others accused the satellite channel of pushing a political agenda and seeking to destabilize the West Bank. |

| #1 There's no pleasing some people. If you don't want to be killed, don't call yourself a martyr. |
