| Fatah Islam vows to fight 'the Americans and the Jews' |
| 2007-05-27 |
| A purported leader of the militant Fatah al-Islam group, which has been battling the Lebanese army in a Palestinian refugee camp, vowed on Saturday to fight "the Americans and the Jews". Al Jazeera television, which broadcast the videotaped message, identified the man as Shaker al-Abssi and said it was the Palestinian's first public appearance. "We say to you, the guardians of the American project, the Sunni people will be leaders in fighting the Jews, the Americans and their loyalists," Abssi said, referring to Lebanese leaders. The channel also aired footage of what it described as training camps for the Islamist group. Abssi, bearded and wearing camouflage fatigues, was shown wrapping a black and white chequered scarf around his head. A young militant stood beside him, holding a machine gun. |

| #7 Black checkered headresses are available at Cracker Barrel for cheap. I think you can also get them at most Nascar events but those are usually plastic and won't breath well in th desert heat. |
