TERRORISTS PLANNING TO MOVE INTO GAZA AFTER ISRAEL LEAVES

Radical Palestinian Groups in Lebanon and Syria Plan to Move to Gaza - Khaled Abu Toameh (Jerusalem Post)
Leaders of Hamas and other Palestinian radical groups in Lebanon and Syria are planning to move to the Gaza Strip after Israel evacuates the area, Palestinian sources confirmed on Sunday. The Saudi newspaper Al-Watan reported over the weekend that PA Civil Affairs Minister Muhammad Dahlan, who is in charge of coordinating the withdrawal with Israel, has invited Hamas leaders to move to Gaza. "We want to see you among us," Dahlan reportedly told Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal and his top aides. Nayef Hawatmeh and Khaled Abdel Majid, the leaders of two other Syrian-based groups, are also planning to move to the Gaza Strip, the sources revealed. PA officials said that the PLO's Farouk Kaddoumi, who is based in Tunis, is also planning to move to Gaza. Asi Shariv, a spokesman for Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, said, "It's not really bothering us, because they can't just arrive at the airport. They can't come in without our permission."
