Gaza Hardline Islamists Claim Rocket Attack
|
[An Nahar] A hardline Islamist group claimed a rocket attack against southern Israel on Thursday, in a statement that condemned a historic visit by U.S. President Barack Obama
Republicans can come along for the ride, but they've got to sit in the back ...
to the region.
In a statement headlined "The demolition of Sderot by rocket bombardment in reaction to the visit of the dog Obama," the Salafist Aknaf Bayt al-Maqdis group said it was responsible for an attack launched from Gazoo.
Two rockets hit southern Israel, one landing in the town of Sderot on Thursday morning before Obama traveled from Jerusalem to the West Bank city of Ramallah for talks with president the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial...
, leader of the Paleostinian Authority.
Aknaf Bayt al-Maqdis (The Guardians of Jerusalem) "declares its responsibility for the rockets fired towards the Zionist violator Sderot this morning March 21 2013," the statement said.
Israeli officials had blamed Thursday's rocket attacks on Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,, Abbas's rival movement that governs the Gazoo Strip.
But the Islamist Hamas implicitly denied responsibility.
Spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri
...a senior spokesman for Hamas. Zuhri gained notoriety in 2006 when he dropped his money belt containing somewhere between 640,000 and 900,000 euros, which was confiscated by Paleostinian security and customs officials at a routine border crossing from Egypt to Gaza. The news brought competing Hamas and Fatah forces to the crossing checkpoint for an epic face-making and hollering contest...
told Agence La Belle France Presse Hamas "considers talk of rocket fire to be merely Israeli accusations aimed at gaining sympathy from Obama... and inciting him against Paleostinians."
