Four Palestinians Killed in Explosion
A blast went off Sunday afternoon at the home of a member of the Islamic militant group Hamas in the Zaitoun neighborhood Gaza City. Four Palestinians were killed and three "Now, pay attention, Mahmoud. You take the black wire and splice it to the red wire, and the white wire and splice it to the green wire, see?" "Ahmed, you've got that backwards. It's black to green and white to red, like this, see?" "Well, you're wrong. That won't work, 'cuz as soon as you arm the thing..." [BOOM!] Hamas prevented journalists from inspecting the site, something the group has done in the past in the aftermath of so-called "work accidents" during the assembly of bombs. It also appeared that the blast went off inside the house, rather than being caused by a rocket. Work accidents always make me want to... ululate. A neighbor, Ramzi Suleiman, 29, said he was sitting on his balcony "Sure am glad they had me outside on lookout duty." FOLLOWUP: Hamas leader in the Gaza strip, Dr. Abdel Aziz Rantisi, has blamed Israel for the explosion in Gaza city that killed five Hamas activists Sunday afternoon. One of the dead, Nidal Farahat, was the brother of Hamas terrorist Muhammad Farahat, the man who carried out the attack in Atzmona on March 7 in which five yeshiva students were murdered and more than 20 others wounded. His mother made headlines after video footage showed her with her son, who boasted about the 'mission' he was to carry out; she called on all Got her the Paleomom of the Year Award. Nidal Farahat was involved in sending Hamas activists to train in Arab countries, and for helping to smuggle Kassam rockets from the Gaza Strip to the West Bank. Want to see me care that he's dead? Okay. Close your eyes and hold your breath... Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2003-02-16 |
