#6 The Islamic Jihad vowed Wednesday to avenge the Israeli overnight capture of a militant chief in the northern West Bank city of Jenin, Ha'aretz reported. The movement's leader in Gaza, Abdallah al-Shami, said revenge would be exacted for the capture of Sheikh Bassam Saadi. "The enemy will pay a dear price for beating Sheikh Bassam Saadi and for its daily crimes on our people," al-Shami said. Witnesses said Saadi was beaten after he was seized. In the Jenin raid, Saadi was found by tracker dogs beneath a car parked outside a mosque. Three other Palestinians were also arrested in Jenin, the witnesses said.

Good dogs, steak for you tonight.
