RAMALLAH, West Bank -- A senior Hamas leader indicated Monday that the militant group is halting attacks on Israelis while the Palestinians prepare to choose a new leader, the latest sign of change following the death of Yasser Arafat. Sheik Hassan Yousef, the group's top leader in the West Bank, said Hamas also would consider a formal truce with Israel. Hamas has carried out dozens of suicide bombings and other attacks, killing hundreds of Israelis during four years of fighting. Since Arafat's death Nov. 11, there has been a sharp drop in violence. The Palestinians have turned their attention to Jan. 9 presidential elections, while Israel has curtailed its military activity and made a series of gestures meant to ensure that the vote goes smoothly. "In the current situation, many political and militant groups have halted their attacks. They are waiting and exploring the new era," said Yousef, who was recently released from an Israeli prison after serving a 28-month sentence. He also said that Hamas would consider a formal cease-fire, if Israel reciprocates.

I guess the latest "senior Hamas leader" wants to survive to graduate high school.
Not holding my breath ping
No more Saddam.
No more Arafat.
The two biggest sources of terrorist financing have dried up. Thus the terrorism dries up.
Would that it were that simple....

They say the attacks have been dreatly reduced as a result of the "Fence" that has been put up. The fence must make the PLO boys feel right at home...maybe they were just lost and had to have a reminder of familiar surroundings to make them behave. Prison will do that.
(Hamas to 'halt' attacks on Israel. A cold day in hell is more like it.)
