If you live by the sword, you will die by the sword! And may you NOT rest in peace...

The idea that any movie would be "vital for the organization" is ridiculous. Clearly, the organization was making a MARTYR VIDEO. Hamas leaders were preparing their fellow terrorist to become a martyr. Ergo, they knew beforehand that he was going to die. If they suspected that Israel was going to attack him, they would have hidden him rather than trying to make him more visible. Hamas leaders tried to get him killed. If Israel desisted, Hamas is easily capable of doing the deed themselves and blaming Israel for it, as they have done with "work accidents" in the past. This terrorist had cancer - probably terminal cancer - and Hamas decided to make him die a manufactured martyr's death for propaganda purposes rather than letting him die abed. No wonder this terrorist was irritable and tense; he suspected that his own organization was going to kill him.

Like rats on a sinking ship they cannot trust each other. Justice has finally been served. al-Zahar ,sleep with both eyes open and under your bed.

So it's supposed to be a conspiracy? He went against Hamas and they killed him while fleeing abroad? The only ones who could have done this are the CIA or Mossad. No other agency needs him dead.

think, in the interests of the socalled greater good. As one senior Hamas official put it, "We Gazans love death the way Israelis appreciate life."

happy to go see their one 72 year old virgin ...

Seems like this handsome, influential terrorist was a threat to Mashal. Thanks for the info tho', one less! Well done our boys!

Good news for Zionism, but even people not following politics and events in M.East, start to wake up Worldwide in "numbers"and SEE and UNDERSTAND truth picture of Palestine/Israel story ..and that is good news for Humanity.

... terrorists out there trembling with fear, from psychological point of view. What a miserable life, and they deserve every minute of it. And the Al-Mabhouh death will it make even worse for them. Watch out... trust noone... don't sleep... what's around that corner?... did you hear that?... don't open that letter... and so on and so on...

This is very reminiscent of the internal struggles in Fatah and the PLO. The terrorist leaders in the same faction often ratted each other out to Israeli intelligence so their rivals would be 'martyred' and they could claim the mantle of leadership unchallenged. All the news coming, points strongly to the, at the least, partial cooperation of someone in Hamas with the hit job.

Seems to me there had to be inside help. For the two intruders to get unnoticed through lobby and into room and spend how many minutes photocopying documents in the briefcase? To slip out unnoticed, get to the airport or whatever, and leave the country. Definitely inside help. Whatever, good riddance to a piece of trash. And to the Sidon and Sapportas families, may your sons rest in peace, and may you know no further sorrow.
