Apparently, our palestinian pals have joined the Sunnis in Iraq and come together to murder, well, anyone who gets in the way of their bombs.
The authoritative Middle East News Line reports that the U.S. military command in Iraq has determined that Palestinians have become senior operatives in the Sunni insurgency in Iraq against U.S. forces.
These officials said an increasing number of Palestinians have joined al-Qaida-aligned groups in Iraq. They said most of the Palestinians, estimated at more than 100, entered Baghdad from Syria and Jordan over the last 18 months and helped plan suicide car bombings.
“They came into Iraq posing as students or those visiting family,” an official said. “We believe some of them were sent by Palestinian groups.”
On May 30, Iraqi and U.S. troops captured three Palestinians identified as leaders of insurgency cells in Baghdad. The Palestinians were said to have recruited students from Baghdad Technical University and ordered them to plant bombs near Iraqi police and army positions.
“This cell is responsible for at least two attacks against Iraqi security and police forces in the Karada area [of Baghdad],” the U.S. military said. “The first attack, in December 2005, resulted in no casualties. The second attack, in January of this year, killed several Iraqi police officers riding in a vehicle.”
Officials said the Palestinians directed two student cells that operated out of the university dormitories. They said the cells assembled bombs and targeted Iraq Army and police forces.
“All three cell leaders are believed to be Palestinians, and they were financed by a local business,” the military said without elaborating.
Once again proving that the palestinians are not just not on our side, they are actively working with America’s enemies. While Israel is an active ally, teaching American troops inner-city fighting techniques and how to spot and disarm IEDs.
Someone want to tell me how the Israeli oppression of the palestinians justifies their attempts to murder American troops? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
No wonder by the Iraqis are killing them in their Saddam-subsidized homes and driving them to the borders of Syria and Jordan.
I guess it’s also no wonder why Syria and Jordan are being overly cautious about which ones they actually let in.
Now why would Palestinian terrorists be going all the way to Iraq instead of into Israel?
Maybe its harder these days to to get into Israel to blow yourself up. Has something changed?
