Jordon says Hamas is smuggling weapons
Jordan accused Hamas activists of smuggling missiles and other weapons into the kingdom and said Tuesday it was canceling a planned visit of the Palestinian foreign minister — the second diplomatic snub for the Hamas-led government in a week.Hamas appears to be as adept as al Qaeda in creating enemies where it does not have to. You would think that an organization that is begging for contributions would not be involved in attacks on a neighbor. Perhaps, they think Jordon is run by "occupiers" too.Palestinian Foreign Minister Mahmoud Zahar's visit to Jordan, which was planned for Wednesday, had been "put off until further notice," a Jordanian government spokesman said.
On Friday, Zahar went to Cairo, but Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit said he was too busy for a meeting.
The Jordanian spokesman, Nasser Judeh, told The Associated Press that "missiles, explosives and automatic weapons were seized in the last couple of days." Hamas activists had managed to smuggle "such dangerous weapons into the country" and store them, he said.

In a separate statement to the official Petra news agency, Judeh said Jordanian security services had observed Hamas activists "exploring several vital (potential) targets" in the capital, Amman, and other cities. He did not elaborate.
State television quoted Judeh as saying the discovery of the arms cache proved that "Hamas is using two languages in dealing with Jordan."

Meanwhile Saudia Arabia has decided to award bad behavior by providing $92.4 million as an annual donation to the terrorist group's "goverment."
Update: Gateway Pundit has more on the charges including pictures.
