Al-Qaeda sez they boomed Tariq Abu Ghajab
|
DEBKAfile Exclusive: Al Qaeda from its Samarra base in Iraq takes responsibility for attempt on life of Palestinian General Intelligence chief Saturday. Abu Mazen is next in line. DEBKAfiles counter-terror sources report the bulletin, released from Abu Musab al Zarqawis main strongholds in Iraq Sunday at 8:22 am, claimed the attempted assassination of Gen. Tariq Abu Ghajab, GI chief, who survived the huge, remote-controlled explosion, which ripped through the fortified GI HQ building in Gaza Saturday, May 20, killing his bodyguard and injuring 9 officers. The notice contains circumstantial details of the attack, indicating its authenticity. Abu Ghajab was taken to Tel Aviv Ichilov Hospital in critical condition at Abbass request.
DEBKAfiles sources explain the Zarqawi networks first major operation in Gaza as an attempt to make a statement: the Palestinian peoples fate will not be determined between the Palestinians and Israel in reference to the talks held Sunday at Sharm al Sheikh by Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli ministers Tzipi Livni and Shimon Peres, or Egyptian President Hosni Mubaraks meetings with both sides - but by the will of al Qaeda. Israeli officials did their best to cast doubt on al Qaedas claim to have hit Abu Ghajab when it was first aired by Hizballahs al-Manar television station in Lebanon early Sunday.
On April 28, DEBKAfile exclusively quoted the al Qaeda cell in Gaza as threatening attacks on Palestinian and Israeli targets as soon as final orders came through rom Abu Musab al Zarqawi, al Qaedas Iraq chief. The Palestinian targets named for the traditional slaughter of the infidels were Mahmoud Abbas and the Fatah leaders closest to him: former interior minister Mohammed Dahlan, West Bank spokesman Yasser Abd Rabbo, deputy director of preventive security in Gaza, Samir Mashrawi, and Fatah leader in Rafah, Abu Ali Shiahin.
On May 14, DEBKAfile disclosed the influx into Gaza of some 100 al Qaeda fugitives on the run from Egyptian security forces in Sinai. They were primed for terrorist operations against the Palestinians and Israel.
It is not yet clear whether al Qaeda or Hamas, which is locked in an armed leadership struggle with Fatah, planted the 70-kilo bomb aimed against another pro-Abbas security chief in Gaza, Rashid Abu Shebak, on Sunday. His security officials discovered the bomb in time and defused it.
