Irony: Bombing Plot Foiled By ....Hamas!


This is too funny! I was on the floor laughing for 15 minutes over this! Get this - Hamas' Leader, Ismail Haniyeh, was set to speak at a rally in the Gaza Strip and members of Hamas find a guy in the crowd with a backpack full of 4 kilos of TNT ! Hey Hamas, welcome your friends al Qaeda to Gaza! hahahaha
Can you imagine? Hamas, the mighty force of terror in the Middle East, is now running around checking backpacks to protect ITS leaders and people from being bombed!!!!
You could cut the irony with a butter knife. I am sobered, however, that the bomber didn't succeed in blowing Haniyeh up, as that would have been a plus for mankind. But hey, the week is young!
Enjoy your new neighborhood, Hamas...al Qaeda is there to stay and they don't like to be #2.

Here's the full story.


Hamas foils attempt to plant explosive in rally attended by leader

Hamas security foiled an attempt to plant an explosive in a rally attended by their leader in the Gaza Strip, they said.
Forces at a Hamas rally earlier in the day found 4 kilograms of TNT in the backpack of a man during a search after he was stopped at the entrance to the gathering, Hamas security spokesman Ihab Ghussein said.
The suspect tried to enter the rally as Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was speaking but it was not clear if he was the target, Ghussein said.
"He confessed that there were other accomplices," Ghussein said. "They are now being pursued."
Hamas forces are questioning the man, he said.


The attempted attack came during heightened tensions between Hamas and its rival, Fatah. Hamas wrested control of the Gaza Strip from Fatah-allied forces in June. A government of the leader of Fatah, President Mahmoud Abbas, rules over the West Bank after kicking Hamas out of a unity government in response to its seizure of Gaza.
