Terrorist Wing That Had Been "Totally Dismantled" By Fatah Launches Attack, Murders Israelis

Hey, remember how Reuters parroted Fatah propaganda about how they were meeting their Roadmap obligations because they had totally dismantled the Al Aksa Brigades? Liars:
A Border Guard police officer was killed and three people were injured Thursday evening in two simultaneous terror attacks which took place in the Jerusalem area. Two Border Guard officers were shot at the northern entrance to the refugee camp of Shoafat, north of Jerusalem. Twenty-year-old Lance Corporal Rami Zuhari of Beersheva was critically injured, and later died of his wounds despite paramedics' attempts to resuscitate him. Another female officer sustained moderate to serious wounds and was evacuated to the Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in the capital... Fatah's military wing, the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, claimed responsibility for the attack and said that the cell members behind it had the officer's weapon. A Fatah spokesman told Ynet that the organizations "Black September" activists carried out the attack.
They're promising more attacks, although they're insisting that those attacks aren't meant to derail peace negotiations. Which isn't really that outlandish: if the rest of the world expects Israel to negotiate with and supply energy to terrorists as those terrorists are launching attacks, why shouldn't Fatah?
Incidentally, now seems like exactly the right time to give the Palestinians a state. And they should definitely have a lot of access to Jerusalem, with soverignty in some areas and no Israeli roadblocks in any of the rest. And if the Israelis have any security concerns, the State Department and EU should certainly be able to keep the peace.
