Story on Xinhuanet was titled: Hamas member killed in premature bombing. I prefer to call it was it is.
A member of Al Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, was killed Wednesday in a premature bomb explosion in the central Gaza Strip, Palestinian medics said. Hassan al-Allami, 31, was killed as he was preparing a roadside bomb near an Israeli army checkpoint, witnesses said. Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon declared a mutual ceasefire at the Sharm el-Sheikhsummit on Tuesday. But Hamas and Islamic Jihad (Holy War) said they were not part of it.

Let the premature ___ jokes begin

#4  Well, it appears that not much progress is being made by the Paleos in putting the clamps on terrorist activity...

#3  PlanetDan, unfortunately, the prevailing view for many seems to be that political parties with military "wings" (translation-suicide civilian murderers like Hamas) are just swell as bargaining partners in the Peace Plan. Let's see where that takes the world.

#2  so just because he was unsuccessful, does that mean the ceasefire is still in effect? Does this count as an attempted attack by hamas? Doesn't Israel now have the legitimacy to return go after hamas? If not that, shouldn't Abbas do something more than appease hamas?

so many questions. . .
