AIN AL-HELWEH, Lebanon, Sept 11 (AFP) -
Dozens of Palestinian refugees fired into the air with joy Tuesday at news of apparent anti-US terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, AFP correspondents witnessed.

Guerrillas in military fatigues from various factions fired assault rifles and rocket-propelled grenades into the air in the Ain al-Helweh refugee camp at the outskirts of the southern port city of Sidon, one correspondent said.

Camp residents, some still in pyjamas, interrupted afternoon rests to rush down to the streets and fire assault rifles into the air, they said.

At the Shatila refugee camp in Beirut, Palestinian fighters also went out to the streets as soon as they heard the news from their television sets to fire into the air with joy, an AFP correspondent said.

. I am not at all fooled by his lies, and I hope no one else is either.

Those still fooled: Hillary, Katy Couric, CNN, The US State Dept

I hope you understood my post right. Not that it's hugely important on a day like today. I've seen the usual suspects already telling us not the believe the Government should they tell us it's Islamic because "we all know that Israel's really, really the bad guy." The easiest answer is usually the best.

Only a few could be responsible for this kind of coordination. No need to try to pick out the one - every one of them should be targeted as a lesson.

Excuse me, but the posted story (reported by the normally pro-Palestinian AFP news service) plainly indicates that more than "only a few" Palestinians are openly rejoicing at these attacks on our nation.

Turn Lebanon into a glass-bottomed, self-lighted parking lot.

ABC reporting dancing in the streets of the west bank. Katie Couric confirming the celebration. I don't know who is behind this, but once and for all we must put down all these radical groups that call for the death of Americans.

A political war we can all understand. A religious and cultural war is entirely different. These crazy Islamic fundamentalists that say things like "We must kill the Jews and the Americans who are like them" must be utterly destroyed.

As Tony Blair just said "We, the democracies of the western world are going to have to come together, to fight it together, and eradicate this evil completely from our world."

...Bill Clinton better keep HIS mouth shut now...

The man behind this horror is most likely Osama Bid Laden, whom Clinton tried to assassinate with air strikes, but had to stop when pundits and conservatives started accusing him of "wagging the dog," or of intentionally destroying aspirin factories.

Had Clinton gotten more support from Americans and the American press when he was trying to DO something about this problem, maybe what happened today would never have happened.

Massive retaliation is required once the people responsible are identified. Most of the "usual suspect" countries have no substantial infrasturctures. Rather than hit a few sheepherders or bomb another aspirin factory a large, deep, smoking, radio-active crater the size of the Grand Canyon should mark the place where the perps and their supporters were found.

I just watched footage of those Palestinians jumping for joy over the mass murders.

Let these people have their day of evil glee.

Japan high-fived itself after Pearl Harbor. The 'sleeping giant' had the last laugh, and we will again.......

Palestinians in this country have been remarkably quiet today, however.

Thus proving they are still capable of rational behavior.

Those morons always choose the wrong and losing side of each war. They supported the Nazi's in WW2, they supported Iraq when it invaded Kuwait (which resulted in a mass expulsion of the Palestinians from Kuwait once Iraq was kicked out), now this incident.

I saw that. Bert blaming a lack of Israeli intelligence on this. He's the first to castigate Israel whenever they act hard against terrorism, and then he blames them for not doing enough to stop this tragedy. Blaming Israel for this is rediculous.

I just saw on Fox people running from the collapsing building... pour souls. One of them was thrown down and appeared to get buried in the rubble.
