TIME reports that the Hamas terror gang is expanding its operations to target US interests: Hamas Goes Global.

Hamas is expanding its operations out of the narrow Israeli theater. Jordanian security officials tell Time that two Hamas agents recently traveled to Afghanistan to recruit the remnants of al-Qaeda’s network to join its operations in the Arab world. The Jordanians say this spells danger for many countries in the Middle East, especially since a growing number of Hamas leaders now argue that the best way to strike Israel is to attack U.S. targets in Arab countries. A choice venue for such attacks, they say, would be Iraq, where Hamas would find local groups willing to cooperate in attacks on occupying forces. As the bombings in Saudi Arabia last week revealed, foiling such plots could be very difficult.
