Israeli army denies hinting at US clearance over Gaza assassination
DPA – 04/11/2010
TEL AVIV, Israel — The Israeli military denied Thursday that it had hinted it had received clearance from the United States, before it used a bomb to assassinate a suspected Palestinian militant in Gaza City the previous day.
Lieutenant-Colonel Avital Leibovich, who briefed reporters on the assassination Wednesday night, said her remarks were not meant as a hint that Israel had given Washington advance notice of the hit.
“I didn’t hint in any way,” she told the German press agency DPA, clarifying that instead, she had spoken of a general cooperation and information sharing with the US as well as with other allied armies.
“In general there is cooperation with the US and with other armies,” Leibovich said, but emphasized she did not know whether such information-sharing had taken place prior to the targeted killing of Mohamed Al-Nemnem.
Al-Nemnem, a senior member of the radical Army of Islam group, died when his car exploded outside western Gaza City’s police headquarters around noon Wednesday.
Israel said he was involved in planning an attack against Israeli and American targets in the Sinai peninsula and was targeted because he was a “ticking bomb.”
Briefing reporters on the targeted killing Wednesday, Leibovich said: “Without getting specifically into more details, I can tell you there is very good cooperation between us and the Americans.
“We have an ongoing relationship with the Americans as well as with other forces and from time to time we pass on information.”

It is amazing these ghouls can just chat along openly about cold blooded murder. As banal as stepping on bugs on a sidewalk.
And this is called Western “Civilization”…yup that’s what they say. And this is a “Clash of Civilizations”. Just ask all the experts of “civilization”.
I hear the echoes of Orwell reverberating in marble halls world wide, a deafening off key chorus.

Yes Kim,
It is clear that Israel was founded upon terrorism, is maintained by terrorism…and will be extinguished by terrorism; most likely its own suicidal plunge into mass insanity–it will implode.
The danger is its, ‘Samson Option’–in that it plans to take the rest of the world with it.
This Golem is the most dangerous ‘beast’ on the face of the planet, and its pussyboy buttbuddy, the United States is just as liable to all the charges above.
