"Gaza Militant Group Says It Killed BBC Reporter" by ISABEL KERSHNER
JERUSALEM, April 15 — A previously unknown group in Gaza sent a statement to news organizations on Sunday claiming that it had killed Alan Johnston, the BBC correspondent who was kidnapped in Gaza City on March 12....
The group... sent an e-mail message with the claim to a journalist.... BBC executives said only a few days ago that those holding Mr. Johnston, 44, had made no clear demands....
More than a dozen foreign journalists and aid workers have been abducted in Gaza in the past year, but all were released unharmed, usually within hours or days.
The group claiming to have killed Mr. Johnston said it would soon release video proving his death, but hours after the declaration was made, no such proof had been produced.
Palestinian moderates in Gaza have voiced concern recently over what they call the growth of “Al Qaeda-type thinking” in the Gaza Strip. Over the weekend, a Christian bookstore and an Internet cafe were damaged by bombs that were presumably the work of Islamic militants.
Presumably, huh?
And CUI BONO?
Tawhid and Jihad was the original name of the Jordanian terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi’s first group in Iraq, before he changed it to Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia. It is unclear whether there is any relation, in intent or in reality, between the new Palestinian group and the Iraqi insurgent group."
Did you get that?
Is the MYTHICAL ZARQAWI "any relation... in reality!!"
I'm getting the waft of a Mossad black-op, folks!!!
CUI BONO?
