| Palestinians in the Gaza Strip On Sunday announced the formation of what they say is a new "resistance" group to carry out attacks against the United States, Israel and Iran in the name of executed former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. The new purported organization, the Saddam Hussein Martyrs Brigades, will "hit America, Israel, Iran and all the traitors to our people," according to a pamphlet distributed today in the densely populated Gaza Strip city of Khan Younis and obtained by WND. "The Zionists and Americans will not dream of more invasion because the reaction of our wing will be very painful. The cells of our organization are spread all around Palestine," the pamphlet stated. Israeli and Palestinian security sources could not immediately confirm the formation of the purported new group. Meanwhile, in the West Bank and Gaza Strip this weekend mourning ceremonies continued for Hussein, who was hanged one week ago after being sentenced to death for crimes against humanity. In the northern West Bank town of Yabed, near Jenin, about 500 people on Saturday participated in a march for Hussein. They also opened a mourning tent in his honor. In Halhoul, near Hebron, hundreds of Palestinians reportedly attended a rally in honor of Hussein, waving flags of several Palestinian terror groups. Rally-goers burned the Israeli and American flags, and chanted slogans against Iran and against Iraqi Shiite leaders who opposed Hussein. Pictures of Hussein alongside late PLO leader Yasser Arafat were posted throughout Gaza and the West Bank.
Hussein was considered a hero to most Palestinians. His final words last week reportedly included "Palestine is Arab." | |

| #4 "The Zionists and Americans will not dream of more invasion because the reaction of our wing will be very painful." why am I reminded of that scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail where the knight keeps threatening and provoking, only to get his limbs sliced off one at a time after each attempt to fight? |

| #3 ... His final words last week reportedly included "Palestine is Arab."... That's not what was initially shown by the recording of the execution. The creation of a myth begins. |
