"Hamas Vows to Continue Fight After Pullout"
Saturday, August 13, 2005
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip In a show of force, founders and political leaders of the terrorist group Hamas (search) appeared Saturday on a stage together for the first time in 10 years to tell the Palestinian people that the militant group's armed struggle will go on after Israel's impending withdrawal from the Gaza Strip (search).
In a direct challenge to the Palestinian Authority (search), the Hamas leadership positioned itself in front of the group's logo and a green Islamic flag to send a message that they have the right to possess weapons and to claim responsibility for pushing Israel out of the Gaza Strip.
The Hamas news conference comes just a day after the Palestinian Authority held its first official celebration with the attendance of Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas of Israel's withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and four West Bank settlements."

The AP added that it was not clear "whether this signaled an intent" that Hamas would fire during the expulsion planned to begin on Wednesday. Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists are trying to create the impression that their terrorism has forced Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to unilaterally dismantle Jewish communities, AP added.
