Palestinian Iraq volunteer dies
Thaer Hussein Othman, a Palestinian born in a refugee camp in Lebanon and living in Denmark, died on the journey from the Syrian border, on his way to support the Iraqi forces. The bus in which he was travelling was attacked by a US Apache helicopter, and he later died of his wounds in a Baghdad hospital.
Tap, tap, tap...Nope.
At his funeral in Beirut on Tuesday, volleys of shots were fired into the air and shops were closed as a sign of respect. The dead man's brother said that Othman had left Denmark on the day that the US attack on Iraq began, "on a tourist trip to Syria. We didn't know he was in Iraq."
Another wannabe misses out on his virgins. Wonder how many were on the bus that got zapped?

This is a redo from yesterday. I'm leaving it in for follow-up and comments. The main question we have, of course, is what happened to the other bloodthirsty goobers on the bus? Did they survive? Or are there similar quaint local ceremonies being conducted in fifty or sixty other places in Paleoland? If we only got one wannabe krazed killer, some Cobra or A-10 pilot's going to be disappointed.
