Hamas Founder Dies in Israeli Airstrike 4 minutes ago
By IBRAHIM BARZAK, Associated Press Writer
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Israeli helicopters fired missiles at Hamas leader Sheik Ahmed Yassin as he left a mosque near his house at daybreak Monday, residents said, and witnesses said he was killed.
Witnesses said Israeli helicopters fired three missiles at Yassin and two bodyguards as they left the mosque, killing them instantly. Hamas officials confirmed that he had been killed.
A total of four people were killed and 12 were wounded in the attack, witnesses said.
Yussef Haddad, 35, a taxi driver, said he saw the missiles hit Yassin and the bodyguards.
"Their bodies were shattered," he said.
Yassin, a quadriplegic, was by far the most senior Palestinian militant killed in more than three years of Israeli-Palestinian fighting. Thousands of angry Palestinians gathered minutes after the attack, calling for revenge against Israel.
In announcing Yassin's death, Hamas said, "(Israeli Prime Minister Ariel) Sharon has opened the gates of hell and nothing will stop us from cutting off his head."
Ambulances and fire trucks raced to the scene with sirens wailing, and rescue workers were gathering up the shattered bodies.
Yassin founded Hamas in 1987. He was held in Israeli prisons for several years before being released in 1994.
In September 2002, Yassin escaped an Israeli missile strike on a Gaza building with a hand injury.
Yassin lived in a modest house in the rundown Sabra neighborhood in Gaza City. Israel blamed him for inspiring Hamas bombers and attackers who killed hundreds of Israelis.
"Their bodies were shattered," he said.
And that's nothing compared to what the Almighty is going to do to him. Have a happy judgement day, scumbag!!

You wet your pants in joy with every death of a Jewish child, but you cry real tears at the death of evil. One day when all the islamic butchers are retired we will have you as our museum piece. We can point and show our children the vanquished face of evil.

We should see what the Palestinians are capable of now. I would guess the Israeli's have made a decision to press to the max, hoping the militants will go nutz. Tonight will be interesting as it is early morning there.

Well the death of nobody should be CELEBRATED, but this isn't anyone to feel sorry for, whether he was in a wheelchair or not.
To: JustPiper
I suppose Israel figured 'How much worse can it get?'.
It's irrelevant now: All the Sheikh's horses and all the Sheikh's men can't put Yasim back together again.
To: Severa
If I had to choose Yassin gone or UK winning...this is much better. But then I went to UC.

I just flipped in on CNN Intl for a second and the very depressed-looking anchorwoman asked "why would Israel do this when the Sheik was considered a
moderate figure by many in the world?"
No joke.

I wonder how the folks at DU are handling the news. No doubt, mourning the loss. Idiots.
