JERUSALEM POST: Terrorist arrested at engagement party

Rami Barghouti, 28, a well known activist in the violent Islamic Hamas who has long been in hiding, was celebrating his engagement when Israeli forces surrounded the house.

Participants said Barghouti fled inside and tried to hide, but the soldiers opened fire all over the building and captured him. He was wounded, they said.

His intended was not detained.

You guys crack me up!

I just had another thought. Do you suppose it had been a really long while since he had seen her? Maybe they are both REALLY GRATEFUL to Isrsael now. Do you think?

i am cracking up here. two of you are really sick people, and you know who you are. want to come over to my house for a beer?
i know that the isrealis have been chipping away at hammas lately, but i wonder just how many "upper tier" types there are to get. it's probably not a numbers thing, but something like my old racquette ball opponent used to do. bounce the ball off the back of my head often enough, and i start ducking instead of playing.
