“With hearts full of faith, Hamas commends brother-fighter Abu Musab … who was martyred at the hands of the savage crusade campaign which targets the Arab homeland, starting in Iraq.”
— official Hamas statement on the killing of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi
**Update: Commenter Pat points out, correctly, that the above statement has been denied by the Hamas leadership. My bad.
However, Hamas spokesman Sami Abu-Zuhri took the trouble to add the following:
“[Hamas] reiterates its supportive position to all liberation movements and foremost the Iraqi liberation movement, for which Zarqawi was one of the symbols in the face of the American occupation.”
Thanks for clearing that up, Hamas.
