#2 so hamas cells are trying to undermine Fatah-hamas talks? Hmmm. Must be dissident hard line elements of hamas (Okay, i could buy that, though the folks who would usually be behind that sort of thing, the Syrians, are supposed to be interested in talks themselves - perhaps that is true but they still dont want fatah- hamas reconciliation?)

but wait, its not so complicated, the cells were TOLD by Hamas leadership to plan the attacks. So Hamas leadership wants the cells to commit acts of violence, to undermine the very talks Hamas leaders are participating in.

Wouldnt it be easier to just not participate in talks? Unless you are under heavy pressure to talk, and want to make it look like youre talking, while provoking violence to create an excuse to end the talks.

Byzantine, even for me.
