The Palestinian Islamic Jihad on Tuesday threatened to retaliate against the United States if it tried to capture its Damascus-based leader, Dr. Ramadan Abdullah Mohammad Shallah.

On Monday, Washington announced that they would offer a $5 million reward for information leading to the capture of Shallah. The same amount was also offered for a member of Lebanese Hizbullah, Mohammed Ali Hamadei. The alleged Lebanese Hizbullah member took part in the 1985 hijacking of TWA Flight 847 that resulted in the killing of U.S. sailor Robert Stethem.

I pray that he is killed during capture.

Threatening the U.S. appears to be in fashion these days: Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Iran/Hezbollah.

They're feeling their (g)oats.

[dhs12345]

Dr. Ramadan Abdullah Mohammad Shallah. His friends just call him "Rami" for short. :)

[Frank_2001]

Make our day, piggies.....

[colonialhk]

If not "a" then "b"!

Capture is overrated in this example.

[stm]

Do they get half if they only return their heads?

[oldenuff2no]

We do not need to threaten them in threaten, we need to demonstrate.
We need to tell them that on a certain day, and a certain time they need to put their eyes on Tehran. At the appointed time we need to make it into vapor before their very eyes.
At that time they Arab and Persian world should be told to come to the peace table with the intent to make an honorable peace or next week we pick another city.
One picture is worth a thousand words.

of course it is..they threaten with impunity knowing their allies, the democrats, won't allow a military response..

Hey these are the guys that our Congress gave a 100 Million of our taxpayer dollars to recently.

I see... Not to be too "lawyerish" but it seems the loophole here centers around the word "capture."

So if we just outright try to kill him, and make no bones about trying to capture him, we can sue Islamic Jihad for breach of contract if they attack us afterward...

And John F. Kerry can lead the way with the lawsuit. I've always wondered how well his strategy of fighting terrorists with lawsuits would work... /sarc

With the savings (shipping, incarceration, lengthy trial etc) they should get double if they return just the head.

[reagan_fanatic]

He's still alive? I thought these jihad types were all gung-ho to die so they can get their paws on those 72 plump, ripe virgins.

What gives?

[pacelvi]

Normally I would say "Bring it on , fkers" but I'm starting to fear that we would do nothing in the face of an attack. So now I'm thinking , "Please dont hurt us"

[MEGoody]

U.S. to Islamic Jihad: Go ahead. . .make my day.

[sheik yerbouty]

They may call him 'Rami" for...other reasons..

[magslinger]

[kinghorse]

These foockers are worse than hollyweird about manufacturing their own names. I presume Ramadallah In Shallah is like arab for Rock Hudson. I got the ultimate made up arab name. Sheik Abdullah Mecca Licca Hiney Hola Ramada Innaoutta Mohammed Mohammed Dirka.

[colonialhk]

Clear on that....
History in the ME speaks well to the impact of facts and action at the edge of the sword rather than bluster and diplomacy founded in neo-European weakness.

Hows the hunting up there these days? Blacktail and Mule Deer?
