Hamas and the other violent terrorist groups must be considered allied and working with Al Quaeda. How else to explain the ongoing, sustained rocket attacks on Israel:

Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip kept up rocket and mortar fire on Israeli targets on Monday despite Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’s vow to do his utmost to prevent further attacks.

The latest salvoes, which caused no damage or casualties, had diminished in intensity from the past few days which were marked by heavy barrages that prompted Israel to mass tanks at the Gaza frontier and threaten a large-scale ground offensive.

When you link these actions with the bombings in London, the increased bombings in Iraq, the bombing spree in Turkey, a pattern of coordinated attacks representative of a broad, deliberately timed effort emerges.

Is it not coincidental this escalation is coming as support for Bin Laden, Al Quaeda, presumably AQ-like organizations, and the terrorist methods themselves is dropping rapidly?
