I would expect Hamas to denounce this report as they do not want to face the U.S. head on…
U.S. intelligence agencies are on the lookout for terrorists from the Palestinian group Hamas to carry out attacks in the United States. The group has been blamed for numerous deadly bombings in Israel.
An intelligence report sent to Bush administration officials recently said the group, also known as the Islamic Resistance Movement, is expanding outside Israel and targeting the United States, according to intelligence officials.
"Hamas is planning operations in the U.S.," one official told us.
Hamas was formed in 1987 as part of the Muslim Brotherhood, a radical Islamic group. It is based primarily in the Gaza Strip and some areas of the West Bank.
The group has not carried out attacks outside Israel but does fund raising abroad, including in Europe and the United States. It is backed financially by Iran, Saudi Arabia and other Arab states.
A U.S. official said the intelligence report is "uncorroborated," but noted that the threat "is something to be taken seriously."

I do wish that when they talk about Hamas they mention who was setting it up as an anti-PLO group. The answer may surprise you, lil ol Israel wasn't it?
hopefully there wont be any attacks here.

I have heard and read that as well Mr. Fraudia about where Hamas got it start, do you mind putting up a link so everyone can read this, hopefully one that is somewhat credible, I have yet to find one.

Honestly, to see them parading around in masks, I thought they all had a skin condition, or, were possibly just plain unattractive! Maybe there’s an “ugly” requirement on the Hamas application form! Seems to be another “Frankenstein’s monster”, like OBL and others…
Peace To All Who Read This…
