Al Hayat: A European Country Informed Hamas of Leaders Targeted for Assassination According to the London-based newspaper, a European country revealed to Hamas that Israel was targeting Mashaal, Haniyeh and al-Zahar from among its leaders. Hamas: We prevented an attack on Haniyeh. Mandi Safdi (1/21/2008) http://www.omedia.org/Show_Article.asp?DynamicContentID=2801 <http://www.omedia.org/Show_Article.asp?DynamicContentID=2801&MenuID=603> &MenuID=603 London-based daily Al Hayat reports that a senior Palestinian official confirmed that a European country revealed to the Hamas government in Gaza, headed by deposed Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh, a list of three Hamas leaders Israel was targeting. This list includes the head of Hamas' Political Bureau, Khaled Mashaal, head of Hamas' Political Bureau, Mahmoud al-Zahar, a Hamas leader and spokesman, and Ismail Haniyeh himself. The source further added that the European country informed them that Israel was delaying the assassinations until the end of President George Bush's visit to the region, and confirmed that the disbanded government and Hamas are taking the message seriously and have increased security around these figures to unprecedented levels. Meanwhile, Hamas claims that its security forces in Gaza thwarted a scheme to set off a pack filled with explosives minutes before Haniyeh arrived at Palestine Stadium in Gaza to participate in a public reception for pilgrims returning from the Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca). The source further stated that a Palestinian youth carrying a pack full of TNT was arrested minutes before Haniyeh arrived at the site. The source further added that the suspect was a young man carrying a school bag who tried to flee when asked to halt and submit to a search, and once caught was discovered to be carrying an explosive charge weighing 3 kg (6.6 lbs). He was arrested and interrogated to find out whether his target was Haniyeh or the assembled crowd. The explosive charge was wired to be detonated via cellphone. The attempted attack added to renewed anarchy in the Gaza Strip. Last Friday, the American International School in Beit Lahia was set on fire in the northern part of the Gaza Strip. Seven cars belonging to the only English-language school in the Gaza Strip were burned and several computers were stolen. An organization calling itself the Group of Believers (Jamaat Al-Mouamnin) claimed responsibility for the attack. Associated with al-Qaeda the organization warned in the message they released: "Should anyone attempt to harm our men or open other such depraved institutions - we will attack him."
