Having just posted about yesterday’s terrorist attack, I did not expect to have to write about yet another one. But this morning, 3 IDF soldiers have been killed, with a fourth being critically injured. Soldiers killed the 2 terrorists.
And look who’s claiming responsibility.
A caller to The Associated Press in Gaza City said the operation was a joint effort of the Islamic Jihad, the Popular Resistance Committee – an umbrella group of Palestinian factions – and the Ahmed Abu El-Rish Brigades, a group linked to Yasser Arafat’s Fatah faction.
Yet Colin Powell has only this to say:
Dismissing Arafat, who is recognized by most of the world as the Palestinians’ leader, Powell said, “Chairman Arafat is not able to act in this manner and therefore we continue to encourage him to give authority to a prime minister.”
For crying out loud, the guy is an arch terrorist who should be caught, tried and executed.
