| Jihad commander escapes assassination |
| 2006-05-14 |
| RAMALLAH, May 14 (Xinhua) -- Islamic Jihad leader Sheikh Mahmoud al-Sadi survived an Israeli assassination in the northern West Bank city of Jenin on Sunday, the militant group said. Al-Sadi is being treated for injuries in the leg and chest after an Israeli elite force opened fire at him on the outskirts of the city, and his condition is stable now, doctors said. Al-Sadi is the local leader of Islamic Jihad in Jenin, and wanted by Israel for involvement in plotting suicide attacks against Israel. Islamic Jihad vowed to retaliate for the Israeli murder. Unlike all other factions, the Islamic Jihad refused to take part in January's Palestinian legislative elections, and declared an end to a one-year ceasefire with Israel reached in early 2005. The Islamic Jihad was involved in a series of suicide bombings against Israel, including the Tel Aviv bombing on April 17, which killed ten civilians and wounded dozens of others. |
