Another blow to the ‘axis of evil’
The Jerusalem Post ^ | 1/31/2010 | Yaakov Katz

The question of whether the assassination of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai earlier this month was carried out by Israel or not is insignificant with regards to the impact his demise will likely have on Hamas and its ability to continue smuggling long-range rockets into the Gaza Strip.

Mabhouh, 50, was found dead in his Dubai hotel on January 20. On Friday, Hamas announced the murder, which the group said was carried out by the Mossad, either by electrocution, suffocation or poison.

The timing of the assassination comes almost exactly two years after Hizbullah’s military commander Imad Mughniyeh was assassinated in a car bombing in Damascus in February 2008.

Then, too, fingers were pointed at the Mossad. Hizbullah and Iran have yet to find someone capable of effectively replacing Mughniyeh, who in addition to commanding Hizbullah forces was also the guerrilla group’s liaison to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, Syria and Hamas.

Dubai, the only good thing about this Oil Kingdom of Slavery is it has managed to burn a lot of the Oil $$s that would have gone to murdering Jooos & Crusaders and that it is a very good place to perform intelligence and wet work! The Hamas Pig has gone to be with his maker, PBUH and may many more join them soon.
God Bless America and Israel.

The Hamas Terrorists and their supporters can’t decide if this evil man died from electrocution, suffocation or poison! Yet they say he was assassinated by Mossad. Seems he died of natural causes due to occupation.

For a moment I thought we won another special election.

either by electrocution, suffocation or poison

or perhaps a heart attack. Given all the choices it is reasonable to say that Hamas doesn't know how them man died.

That is a lot of eggs in one basket.
