Description

The leader of an al-Qaeda-inspired group in Gaza said on Sept. 6 his men recently tried to assassinate US former President Jimmy Carter and Middle East peace envoy Tony Blair. Hamas' de facto government in Gaza foiled the attacks, Mahmoud Taleb said in an interview with the London-based daily ASHARQ AL AWSAT, vowing to retaliate against the militant Islamist movement, which only last month crushed another al-Qaeda-inspired group in southern Gaza. Taleb, who is wanted by Hamas' security forces, has been in hiding for more than two years. Several attempts by Hamas to arrest him have failed, prompting the movement to detain many of his friends and relatives, the Saudi-owned newspaper said. Last month, Hamas' security forces killed Abdul-Latif Moussa, founder and head of a similar fundamentalist group called Jund Ansar Allah ("Warriors of God"). Moussa was killed along with 30 other Palestinians, most of them his supporters, during a shootout in the city of Rafah, days after he declared the city an Islamic emirate. Hamas officials believe that Taleb's group, which is called al-Jamaa al-Salafia al-Jihadieh (Jihadist Salafite Group) and commonly known as Jaljalat (Thunder), was behind recent bomb explosions outside two government-controlled security institutions in Gaza City, ASHARQ AL AWSAT said. The attacks, the officials said, were apparently designed to avenge the crackdown on Jund Ansar Allah. Salafism (from Arabic "salaf" or "ancestors") is a Sunni school of thought that takes the pious ancestors of early Islam as exemplary models in practicing religious duties.
