Darwin Award: Muslim Militant Killed Making Bomb
2003-09-27
EFL/FU
A Palestinian boom artist militant was killed when a bomb he was making blew up on Saturday as Israel maintained a high alert over a New Year holiday weekend coinciding with the third anniversary of a Palestinian uprising.
Red wire to Green...*BOOM*
An Israeli army spokeswoman said troops arrested four more alleged militants in overnight raids in the West Bank after a courageous warrior snuffy Palestinian gunman infiltrated a Jewish settlement and killed a seven-month-old girl and a man of 30 who opened the door to him.
Bulldoze his families’ house today... no waiting
The gunman, who was shot dead later, also wounded the baby’s mother and father in the assault inside the enclave of Negohot near Hebron on Friday night as Israelis sat down to festive family dinners marking Rosh Hashanah, or the Jewish New Year.
The baby was occupying Paleostinian land, of course. It takes a special kind of man to point a gun at a baby and pull the trigger...
Intractable violence has stymied a U.S.-backed "road map" peace plan and international mediators meeting in New York on Friday put the onus on Palestinians to revive the process by subduing militants hostile to co-existence with Israel. But the settlement attack could provoke a harsh response.
Yassin and Arafat? Please?
Ahmed Hassan, a member of the militant Islamic Jihad, died in Saturday’s blast in the Gaza town of Rafah when a bomb he was assembling or handling detonated prematurely. One other militant was wounded.
nice....
Israel clamped a general ban on Palestinian travel within and out of the West Bank and Gaza, except for humanitarian reasons, until Rosh Hashanah ends at sunset on Sunday. Hundreds of masked militants firing assault rifles in the air marched in the Gaza city of Khan Younis to mark the uprising anniversary, vowing to keep fighting Israel.
where’s an F16 with a 500lb bomb when you need one?
Some held up pictures of Palestinian President Yasser Arafat, whose mainstream Fatah national movement includes one of the three leading militant groups. Other demonstrators burned effigies of Fatah leaders involved in creating a new reform-oriented government led by a prime minister as called for by the U.S.-led "Quartet" of mediators.
I like it when that happens...
Israeli officials again blamed what they called the Palestinian Authority’s failure to crack down on militants for the settlement attack and the latest breakdown in peacemaking. Palestinian officials again blamed Israel’s continued pursuit of militants despite a unilateral truce they declared in June — and later canceled amid vows of vengeance.
"later cancelled"? Wasn’t there a bus boomed in there somewhere?...oh yasssss, it’s Rooters
Palestinian Prime Minister-designate Ahmed Qurei discussed a proposed cabinet with Fatah’s central committee in the West Bank city of Ramallah on Saturday and was likely to submit the list to parliament for approval in the coming week. Qurei’s predecessor Mahmoud Abbas, who had pledged to rein in militants and democratise governance to advance the peace plan, resigned after what he called obstruction by Arafat and military operations by Israel’s rightist government.
