October 15, 2003US Convoy Attacked in GazaA new twist in the most appaling deadlock on the planet. A US convoy was bombed in Gaza, leading to the death of several Americans. Israel blamed the Palestinian authority for not cracking down on terrorists, but in a confusing twist, Islamic Jihad and Hamas have both immediately denied any involvement, whereas they are usually quick to claim actions taken by themselves. My question is, who stands to gain the most from the US reaction to this attack? If this is a Palestinian militant action, what can they possibly hope to achieve from it? It seems misaligned with their objectives. If Islamic Jihad and Hamas did not do this, then who did and why? Posted by nlvp at October 15, 2003 06:56 PMComments
