The PA is naming a street after Hamas bomb maker Yehiye Ayash. The particular street is adjacent to Mahmoud Abbas’ presidential compound.(!?)
Ayash, better known as “The Engineer,” was linked to attacks that killed 90 Israelis. The Shin Bet caught up with Ayash in 1996, killing him with — appropriately enough — a booby trapped cell phone.
A month ago, the PA gave similar honor to the “heroine” of the 1978 Coastal Road massacre, Dalal Mughrabi. You’re forgiven for not knowing about that — AP picked up on that story two weeks late. That means I’ll check the wire services in another two weeks for coverage of the new Ayash homage.
