Look at this strange coincidence
Check out who Hamas is now fighting in Gaza. From the New York Times:
Hamas on Monday arrested the spokesman of a shadowy group holding a British Broadcasting Corp. reporter....Now consider what else the Times reports:
Hamas has demanded that the Army of Islam, led by a violent Gaza clan, free Alan Johnston, who was kidnapped on a Gaza City street on March 12.
But the group, whose formerly close relations with Hamas have soured, has demanded that Britain first release a radical Islamic cleric with ties to al-Qaida. It has threatened to kill Johnston if Hamas tried to free him by force.
The Army of Islam threatened to release what it said were damaging documents about Hamas if its spokesman, Abu Khatab al-Maqdisi, remained in custody. The group also kidnapped 10 members of Hamas....
Al-Maqdisi was arrested while trying to fire on members of a Hamas-allied security force, said Sami Abu Zuhri, a senior Hamas official, who denied any link between al-Maqdisi's arrest and efforts to free Johnston.To me this suggests that Hamas is now fighting the same type of insurgents the U.S. is in Iraq - that is, Al Qaeda linked insurgents.
