Al Qaeda Letter Threatens U.S. Over Yassin Death

Reuters is reporting [1]:

“DUBAI (Reuters) – An Islamist web site published a statement Monday purporting to come from an al Qaeda-linked group vowing revenge on the United States and its allies over Israel’s assassination of Hamas leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin.

‘We tell Palestinians that Sheikh Yassin’s blood was not spilled in vain and call on all legions of Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades to avenge him by attacking the tyrant of the age, America, and its allies,’ said the statement by Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigade carried by the al Ansar forum Web Site.

The group, which aligns itself to Osama bin Laden’s al Qaeda network, had claimed this month’s train bombings in Spain. There was no means of verifying the statement. “

Anyone have any further questions about the connections between the PLO/Hamas, and al Qaeda?
