Israel Matzav: Taliban helping Hamas construct IED's?

Taliban helping Hamas construct IED's?

The IDF believes that the Taliban is helping Hamas and its allies to construct IED's.

The tests, which were carried out by the technology department of the IDF Ground Forces Command, revealed that the bombs were very similar to the improvised explosive devices used against U.S. and British forces by militants in Iraq and Afghanistan, such as the Taliban.

The army found that the assembly of the bombs had also significantly improved, and that they contained substances which had not been used before in such devices in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Among the substances discovered in the bombs was tungsten, a metal that can improve the ability of the devices to penetrate armored vehicles.

The IDF has consulted with representatives from the U.S. and British Army on the matter. A comparison of the devices deployed in the Palestinian territories and in Iraq and Afghanistan revealed similar methods of assembly.

Yes, there really is only one war on terror. But after the Bush administration tried to pretend that Israel was not a part of it, the Obama administration is now trying to pretend that it does not exist.

Aren't you all glad now that we left Gaza and expelled all its Jews four years ago? What could go wrong?
