Iran, Hamas, And Islamic Jihad Meet In Syria To Plan Mideast Turmoil

Assad - not really a good guy

What the hell? Are these people Batman villains? They've holding their own "well if you're not going to invite us we'll go to our own sandbox" conference?

Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki met in Damascus Monday with Palestinian officials, including some from the militant Hamas and Islamic Jihad groups, a week before a meeting in Syria meant to counter a U.S.-hosted Mideast conference in the fall. Moussa Abu Marzouk, deputy head of Hamas' political bureau, said he and Mottaki discussed the situation in the Gaza Strip and the U.S.-sponsored conference which Washington hopes will relaunch negotiations on creating a Palestinian state. After the meeting between Mottaki and Hamas officials, members of other Palestinian factions, including the leader of Islamic Jihad in Palestine Ramadan Abdullah Shallah, met the Iranian foreign minister, according to a member of the Iranian delegation. The Iranian delegate spoke on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to release the information.

But remember what liberal sophisticates say: Sunni and Shiite Muslims are different sects.
