yeah, right ! get this ....
(snip) They note that the al Qaeda communiqué is unprecedented because of three ground-breaking features:
1. Osama bin Laden’s organization has never before publicly announced an inquiry into the death or capture of any of its people – and certainly not its findings.
2. Al Qaeda has never openly admitted to operating in Lebanon, nor was Al Masri ever named as one of its own. This was also the organization’s first claim of a foothold in a Palestinian refugee camp anywhere.
3. Al Qaeda has never before sworn to avenge the loss of any of its top men; nor threatened openly to liquidate the leaders of a fellow terrorist or Muslim organization.
The statement is therefore taken as a declaration of war by the global jihadist al Qaeda on the Palestinian Fatah for control of Ein Hilweh, a strategic location commanding South Lebanon’s Mediterranean coast. It was issued the day that the new Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas was sworn in to take Arafat’s place in Ramallah. Abbas faces the challenge of asserting his leadership over all parts of the Fatah movement, from the outlawed factions in Lebanon to the violent Al Aqsa Martyrs (Suicide) Brigades and Tanzim arms rampant in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Failure to do so will seriously undermine his authority and destabilize his regime. (snip)

Somebody else doesn't get a tounge-in-cheek jibe. *sigh*
