Precisely as we have predicted all along. The Global Jihad is unified by a common ideology, normative Islam. Yasir Arafat was the inventor of the idea of confusing the enemy by pretending to have separate groups with unique names. (He also pioneered airline hijackings and suicide attacks.)
Hamas and a branch of al-Qaeda are cooperating for terror attacks against Israel.
A Palestinian security source has confirmed that the Army of Islam is a branch of al-Qaeda and was responsible for the kidnapping of IDF soldier Gilad Shalit in a joint operation with Hamas, and also for the kidnapping of the British journalist.
(Translated from
Hebrew)
