Islamic Jihad: Attacks will continue after pullout

Another wakeup call for those who think that the Gaza pullout will usher in Peace In Our Time. From the Jerusalem Post (thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist), a report on Sami Al-Arian's old buddy Ramadan Shallah:

Islamic Jihad leader Ramadan Shalah announced that his organization would continue launching terrorist attacks against Israel even after the upcoming withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.

When asked whether Gaza operatives would continue firing Kassam rockets and mortar shells at Israeli communities, Shalah replied that this depends on a number of factors, including Palestinian efforts to maintain national unity.
