Khaled scurrying to Teheran?
2006-07-11
Tehran, Iran, Jul. 10 – A top official of the armed Palestinian group Hamas may have set up camp in Iran, a semi-official daily reported on Sunday. Khaled Mashaal, the political chief of Hamas, has fled left Syria, where he had been based for many years, the hard-line daily Jomhouri Islami wrote.
Life getting a little tough in Damascus? Wore out the welcome wagon?
The report said that Palestinian sources confirmed that Mashaal had left Damascus earlier in the week but did not reveal where he was travelling to. It quoted press reports as saying that the top Hamas official had moved to Iran, but added that Palestinian officials had not confirmed the report.

#4  Not wouldn't think too many countries would want his sorry ass right now. He's hotter than hell on a holiday, I doubt even Libya would want him. But Iran or Venezuela...Real champions of peace, they would want him.

#2  Lol, PBMcL. I think you're onto something there.

Tehran is the source, so it makes sense he'd go there when the heat rose. That he isn't in the Paleo Zone is certainly proof he's a Lion. That he thinks he's safe in Tehran is proof of something else altogether...

#1  Gee. You don't suppose that Assad's sonic wakeup call a few days ago might have had anything to do with this, do you? Nah. Pure coincidence...
