New Hamas leader 10... 9... 8... 7...
From
dgci comes the news that Hamas has announced a new leader.
From the
World Tribune:
bq. Hamas has quietly appointed Mahmoud A-Zahar to head the movement in the Gaza Strip.
bq. Hamas sources said Mahmoud A-Zahar, 53, was selected as the organization's new head in the Gaza Strip. A-Zahar succeeds Abdul Aziz Rantisi, who was assassinated in an Israeli missile strike on Saturday.
That sound you hear is the sound of some helicopters winding up.
UPDATE: In the comments section,
Bill from INDC Journal reminds me that:
bq. No, they are black stealth helicopters, hence they make no sound before the missle impacts ...
DOH - sorry! Should have fact-checked...
