Hamas announces it's keeping the name of its new chief secret; at the same time, his name is published in the Israeli papers. Well, that didn't take long: Hamas mum on new head's ID By KHALED ABU TOAMEH Hamas officials in the Gaza Strip announced on Sunday that they have elected a successor to Abdel Aziz Rantisi, but declined to reveal his identity for "security considerations." However, various sources in the Gaza Strip identified the new leader as Mahmoud Zahar, a veteran Hamas official who escaped an attempt on his life last year when the IAF fired missiles at his home. One of Zahar's sons, Khaled, was killed in the attack. Zahar himself was lightly wounded. "According to the movement's internal regulations, Hamas has filled the place of Rantisi, but we have decided not to announce his name," said a Hamas statement issued in Gaza City. jpost.com
