	Ahmed Yassin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ahmed Yassin was assassinated in an Israeli attack on March 22, 2004.
		Yassin opposed peaceful conciliation with the Israelis, asserting that the land of Israel is "consecrated for future Muslim generations until Judgement Day" and that "The so-called peace path is not peace and it is not a substitute for jihad and resistance." [1].
		Yassin was born near the town of Majdal (renamed Ashkelon after the residents fled or were expelled, in the 1948 war) in then British Mandate of Palestine.

	Al-Ahram Weekly Region Obituary: Sheikh Ahmed Yassin: 1936-2004
		Ahmed Ismael Yassin was born in 1938 in the now non- existent hamlet of Al-Joura, near the present-day Israeli town of Ashkelon-- or Askalan in Arabic.
		Needless to say, his bitterness and sense of indignation were further enhanced by the abject poverty and rampant misery prevalent in the refugee camps of Gaza where he and his family lived during his teenage years.
		In 1997, Yassin was freed from prison after the late King Hussein of Jordan insisted that the Israeli government of Benyamin Netanyahu release him in exchange for the release from Jordanian custody of two Mossad agents who carried out an unsuccessful assassination attempt on Khaled Meshaal, the head of the Hamas contingency in Amman.
