Tony Blair Cancels Gaza Visit After Israeli Intel Uncovers Plot to Kill Him

Snip, snip. Tony Blair is now totally emasculated. Shin Bet alerts Blair that "Palestinians planning to attack" so he just stays home. Guess what? the "Palestinians" have won another psy-ops operation. They said Boo and Blair (and the West) ran away.

Tony Blair Cancels Gaza Visit After Israeli Intel Uncovers Plot to Kill Him

On Tuesday, Mideast envoy Tony Blair called off what would have been the first visit of a top Western diplomat to Hamas-ruled Gaza, after Israel's Shin Bet security service received "pinpointed and imminent" intelligence that there was going to be an assassination attempt on his life.

The Shin Bet security service said it had received "information that Palestinians were planning to attack Blair in Gaza, so the relevant services alerted him to the fact."
They say the information about the attack was "detailed and credible." Militants planned to attack Blair's convey with explosives while he was traveling in Gaza.
Blair's visit Tuesday was to have included a tour of a Gaza waste-water project and meetings with traders and U.N. officials, but not with leaders of Hamas, the Islamic militant group that seized Gaza by force more than a year ago.
Still, Hamas had made security arrangements for Blair, setting up checkpoints in areas he was expected to tour, banning cars from using roads, and lining streets with black-clad policemen carrying AK-47s.
Since the Hamas takeover, Gaza has been virtually sealed off from the world by Israel and Egypt, a policy that has received tacit international backing.
