Exiled Palestinian activist survives 'assassination attempt' in Ireland
Their gang war going international?
Bethlehem -- Ma'an -- An exiled Palestinian activist survived an attempted drive-by shooting in Ireland on Thursday morning, the Palestinian National Security Forces said. Jihad Ja'ara, who was deported from the West Bank after Israel laid siege to the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem in 2002, was on his way to the PLO office in Dublin at the time of the attack. Gunmen opened fire at him and swerved their car towards him. Ja'ara was reportedly injured.
Just injured? Too bad...
Pray for sepsis ...
The website of the Security Forces added that Irish security arrested the gunmen who appeared to be a Palestinian man with foreign citizenship and a Moroccan man.
Spreading sweetness and light in the old sod...
It is noted that this is the second attempt of assassinating Ja'ara where he was imposed to same attempt by Mosad men who were to liquidize him.
Liquidize?
"I'm me-e-e-e-e-e-lting!"
Ja'ara reportedly survived another assassination attempt by Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service, in 2005, although the Israeli government denies involvement in that attack.
"Wudn't me."
Looks like nobody likes Jihad...
Couldn't have been Mossad -- they would have hired a few ex-Provos to do the work, and it would have been done quietly and efficiently ...

Yes, please! I haven't heard that one. To tell the truth, I didn't know there was such a category.
