ABC News Online: Israel kills Palestinian Islamic Jihad commander Baha Abu Al-Ata in Gaza, prompting rocket fire

Israel's military has killed one of the most senior commanders of Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad in a rare targeted strike in the Gaza Strip, prompting retaliatory rocket fire and fears of a severe escalation in violence.

The Islamic Jihad group said their 42-year-old commander Baha Abu Al-Ata and his wife were killed in their home in Gaza City in a targeted attack.

In the most serious escalation in months, an Israeli missile attack also targeted the home of Islamic Jihad official Akram Ajouri in Damascus, killing two people including one of his sons, Syrian state media said.

Israel declined any comment on that incident.

THIS UNRAVELS THE FACTIONS AND REACTIONS

The link ALTER COCKER goes to PORN HUB.

It looks like parrot's work, but that is hard to tell. Someone could easily imitate the unimaginative parrot. However, the parrot has a noted porn addiction. I almost have to think that someone is using an old man's name much as people use to steal the ID of babes, who died after a few days of life, by researching graveyards.

People are like unions. They just add layers. You get older, but never stop appreciating the other sex. But to spend a significant portion of your day coming the internet for picture after picture? That is a sickness.

Always mouse over links first.

The poster, whoever they are (other then them being complete bastards) have sex addiction problem.

The actual story name is:

"HAMAS’S ISLAMIC JIHAD DILEMMA - ANALYSIS"

The link is:

With posters like Alter Cocker no wonder WNU's computer gets infected so often.
