The Aksa Martyrs Brigades announced on Sunday that its members have succeeded in manufacturing chemical and biological weapons.
In a leaflet distributed in the Gaza Strip, the group, which belongs to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah Party, said the weapons were the result of a three-year effort.
According to the statement, the first of its kind, the group has managed to manufacture and develop at least 20 different types of biological and chemical weapons.
The group said its members would not hesitate to add the new weapons to Kassam rockets that are being fired at Israeli communities almost every day. It also threatened to use the weapons against IDF soldiers if Israel carried out its threats to invade the Gaza Strip.
"We want to tell [Prime Minister Ehud] Olmert and [Defense Minister Amir] Peretz that your threats don't frighten us," the leaflet said.
"We will surprise you with our new weapons the moment the first soldier sets foot in the Gaza Strip."
akiboy said:I dont believe this so called fundamentalist group can succeed in building Bio and Chemical Weapons in 3 years!! The U.S took more than 5 years to make thier own Biological/Chemical Weapon. What this Al Aqsa Martyr Brigade has created must be a low yield nuclear weapon with a short range. Even if they do have Bio Weapons ( I say IF they have ) yhen its no probs for countries like Israel ( which IS a nuclear power ) . And if Israel fail to curb the threat a couple of American Tomahawks should do the trick. This is isnt a major problem anyways because these militants are gonna get screwed if they fire even one such weapon into Israeli soil!!
