Nobody knows how a book written by Mohammed Irman was smuggled out of an Israeli prison, but “The Death Engineers” is selling on the street corners of Ramallah. McClatchy News obtained a copy of the book and translated it into English. Thumbs up to correspondents Dion Nissenbaum and Mohammed Najib for some very enterprising journalism:
Now, in an effort to cement the group’s place in the Palestinian pantheon, one of the imprisoned cell leaders has written a history of the group’s actions, revealing previously unknown details about some of the region’s best-known attacks.
Bluntly titled “The Engineers of Death,” the 80-page booklet by Hamas militant Mohammed Irman offers a remarkable window into the evolution of Hamas strategy as the group tried to demoralize Israel, derail regional peace talks and establish itself as the dominant Palestinian political movement.
Irman is serving 35 life sentences for his involvement in attacks that killed at least 35 Israelis. The remarkable excerpts are in pdf format:
Excerpt 1: Founding a terror cell
Excerpt 2: The cell fails its first mission
Excerpt 3: Suicide attack on Cafe Moment
Exceprt 4: The Israelis break up the cell
