“...50 kilograms of hashish were taken,...”

This is significant because of the typical use of the hashish high, by suicide bombers.

I believe the origin of the word “assassin” IS “hashish”.

Mubarak would love to see the Israelis get blowed up.

However arming Hamas means arming the Muslim Brotherhood and Mubarak cannot have a heavily armed mini-state next door that hates him as much as it hates da jooooz.
