Al-Aksa claims chemical & biological weapons manufacture
2006-06-26
Hattip OpinionJournal.com

The Aksa Martyrs Brigades announced on Sunday that its members have succeeded in manufacturing chemical and biological weapons. In a leaflet distributed in the Gaza Strip, the group, which belongs to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah Party, said the weapons were the result of a three-year effort.
According to the statement, the first of its kind, the group has managed to manufacture and develop at least 20 different types of biological and chemical weapons.

The group said its members would not hesitate to add the new weapons to Kassam rockets that are being fired at Israeli communities almost every day. It also threatened to use the weapons against IDF soldiers if Israel carried out its threats to invade the Gaza Strip.

#14  Pissing off the IDF - always a succesful idea.

#13  ST sez: They can't even grow tomatoes in a freakin greenhouse.

That is still open to question. They wrecked the multimillion dollar greenhouses that the Israelis gave them, so we will never know if they have the ability to *ahem* grow things in greenhouses. People who throw rocks should not work in greenhouses, heh.

#12  For all their crappy track record with respect to work accidents, these rectal cavities will probably succeed in killing more Palestinians than anyone else. Hey, wait a minute, did Israel hand them the precursors?

#11  So what exactly will they do with them? If they use them....EVEN ONCE.....what's left of paleo "society" will be decimated.

#10  20 different types of chemical AND biological weapons, in three years. This, despite all those jihadi "work accidents" -- with no reports of bizarre injuries or illnesses? Riiight. I suppose they'll follow up CBW strikes with directed pulse energy weapons fired from a geosynchronous orbital platform.

Mebbe they got some CBW munitions through Syria or whatever, but independent development and manufacture? Please. They can't even grow tomatoes in a freakin greenhouse.

#9  The geo-political equivalent of jumping up and down, waving your arms and yelling "SHOOT ME!"

No. It's. Not.

We have enough homegrown nuts in Mass. Don't need to import any. LOL

#5  I'm all for giving them a state.

It seperates the good guys from the bad and makes it easier to direct artillery.

#3  These guys go way beyond the idea of stuck on stupid. Hey guys, try it out and see how fast you all become spare parts masses of goo martyrs.

#2  It's the content that matters TW, and it's certainly worth reading.

Are these people insane? On the one hand we have representatives of the elected government tunnelling into a neighbouring country, killing people and kidnapping others, whilst the other part of the government (if such a thing means anything in Paleo-land) openly admits to creating weapons which by their nature are totally indiscriminate, and admit to wanting to use them on Israeli communities.

Morons.

#1  PIMF!! only the first line was meant to be yellow, the rest comes from the Jerusalem Post article. And I didn't set up the hattip link correctly, either. Yet another small monument to the fallacy of speed before accuracy, darn it!
