Israeli Strike Kills Islamic Jihad leader

Aljazeera.Net - Israeli strike kills Islamic Jihad leader: "Khalid al-Dahduh, also known as Abu al-Walid, was killed on Wednesday when the vehicle in which he was travelling exploded in the strike.

He was the leader of the Al-Quds Brigades in the Gaza Strip.

There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military.

Islamic Jihad, which boycotted a Palestinian general election last January in which its larger rival Hamas won a massive victory, has been behind the last six bombings in Israel.

Al-Dahduh's death brings to 4969 the number of people killed since the outbreak of the Palestinian uprising in 2000. Most of the victims have been Palestinian."

Israel scores a hit in their eternal struggle to prempt further terrorist attacks on their soil. It will be interesting to see what the official Hamas, excuse me, Palestinian leadership, reaction will be.
