| [IsraelTimes] The reported move, in possible effort to show country is fighting rather than backing terrorism, comes days after US removed Khartoum from blacklist of state sponsors of terror. Sudan has revoked the citizenship of top Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, leader, Khaled Mashaal, as well as that of some 3,000 other foreign nationals, according to multiple Sudanese outlets and other Arabic media in recent days. The move comes after the US earlier this week removed Sudan from its state sponsors of terrorism blacklist and declared a "fundamental change" in relations, less than two months after the Arab nation pledged to normalize ties with Israel. |

| #2 /\ Long before the US was no longer an oil dependent nation, the alliance with the Magic Kingdom was portrayed as a strategic energy imperative. The energy imperative now appears to be little more than a convenient cover for regional access. How shocking. |

| #1 Rached Ghannouchi of Tunisia was for years a close associate of noted Sudanese Islamist Hasan al-Turabi. Ghannouchi and Turabi, with the support of Osama bin Laden visited the Saudi royals in the advent to the US invasion of Kuwait. All three tried to influence Saudi Arabia to expel American forces from Islam's Holy Land. They did not succeed. However, shortly thereafter Bin Laden fled his homeland and moved to the Sudan. And the rest, as they say, is history. |
