Car bomb explodes in Damascus: Syria accuses Israel of attempted assassination of Hamas man!

nterior Minister Ghazi Kenaan said a bomb placed under the seat of the vehicle exploded minutes after the Palestinian driver, his wife and daughter stepped out.

Are we talking about two different women or are they the same woman?

"The vehicle is owned by a Palestinian. This points to a subversive action against Palestinian brothers in Syria," the unnamed official told the state-run news agency SANA.

Hamas ? What Hamas ? There are no palestinian brothers in Syria.

I think Syria is looking for an excuse to attack Israel in a more substantial way.

Unfortunately for Syria, they haven't read Isaiah 17:1 - "The burden of Damascus. It has been taken away from being a city, it has become a ruinious heap." Damascus has been standing for over 2000 years.

More like 5500. However, it is nearly out of time.

If this was an action of Israel, meaning an action of the Mossad, then the Hamas terrorist would not have survived!

I believe your right. Sure, they'll try to pin it on Israel, but the fact is, those at the top of the PLO leadership/movement got there by knocking each other off, just like how Saddam knocked off anybody who was even close to being a rival.

Payback is a bitch.....

This is coming from people who blame the Jews for everything from a bad batch of hummus to seismic activity and solar flares.

Maybe, just maybe, the Syrian serfs are getting fed up with Ba'athist tyranny, terrorists in their midsts, and the generally rotten lot they've been handed by the Assad clan. I doubt it very seriously (Arabs seem to have a long-term love affair with terror and despotism), but it's a possiblity.

I don't know if I believe this story, the Mossad rarely misses.

Where did you get 5500?

I am sure it is just "Palestinians" voting each other out of office. It's Election time in Arab occupied Israel.
