The mother of one of yesterday’s suicide bombers wants to kill the terror leader who dispatched her son.

Islam Qteishat, a young recruit of the Islamic Hamas group, exploded at the entrance to the West Bank Jewish settlement of Ariel, not far from his own home.

With curses, his mother, Yusra, 40, cried out for revenge, but not against Israel, who days earlier killed two Hamas men and another Palestinian in a gunbattle here, prompting calls of revenge from Hamas.

Instead, the mother wanted retribution against God and the militants who took in her son and sent him on his grisly mission.

“I’ll kill whoever dispatched my son,” she screamed, beating her fists against a wall.

This attitude represents somewhat of a change from the usual reaction of mothers of suicide bombers.
