First US Missile Attack in Gaza Against 'Al-Qaeda'

This is not reported anywhere else, but DEBKAfile says in the November 4, 2010 article:

A missile fired from an American warship in the Mediterranean hit the car in which Muhammad Jamal A-Namnam, 27, was driving in the heart of Gaza City Wednesday, Nov. 3 and killed him, debkafile's exclusive counter-terror sources report. Namnam was an operational commander of the Army of Islam, Al-Qaeda's Palestinian cell in the Gaza Strip. He was on a mission on behalf of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula – AQAP to plan, organize and execute the next wave of terrorist attacks on US targets after last week's air package bomb plot.

According to our sources, the Palestinian cell members were planning to infiltrate northern Sinai from the Gaza strip over the coming weekend and strike American personnel serving with the Multinational Force and Observers Organization – MFO, which is under American command and is stationed at North Camp, El Gorah, 37 kilometers southeast of El-Arish.

In a coordinated operation, Al Qaeda fighters hiding up in the mountains of central Sinai were to have attacked US Marines and Air Force troops stationed at the South Camp in Naama Bay, Sharm el Sheikh.

The twin attacks were scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 7, or the following day.

Our sources say that, just as US-Saudi intelligence cooperation led to the interception of package bombs from Yemen last week, so too US intelligence-sharing with Egypt and Israel foiled a major Al-Qaeda terrorist attack on American personnel in Sinai. Egyptian intelligence picked up on Namnam's scouting forays of US forces and discovered him caching weapons and explosives ready for the Al Qaeda strike force's arrival from Gaza.

Well, did you know that US Marines and Air Force troops are in Sinai, 16 kilometers from the Israeli border?

Crude oil, gold, silver are up, even though the US dollar has rebounded today.

The fact is that there isn't a single American Marine or Air Force troop in the Sinai. I'm not going to divulge any information that might hurt the MFO or it's peace keeping forces. All I can say is that this article has entirely way too many faults. I can say though that anyone who tries to attack Egyptian soil from the Gaza Strip will be eliminated. The amount of forces that will converge upon the cowardly terrorists will leave them empty handed and their mission will not bring any credit to them or their cause.

This news source is an interesting one. You can't tell (or you can, but don't dare say it) whether their information is correct or just a smoke screen. Or how much of it is correct or proved to be correct later.
