Palestinian dies in car blast
Palestinian police have launched an investigation after a car blew up in the southern Gaza Strip, killing a member of the Islamic Jihad group. Yusuf Abu Matar, 33, who also belonged to the Palestinian police force, died in a local hospital on Sunday.
| A significant part of him did, anyway... |
An explosive device reportedly went off as he sat in his car in the Rafah refugee camp on the southern edge of Gaza, near the border with Egypt.
| You put the key in, you turn the key, then — surprise! — you ain't no more! |
Palestinian security sources said they were investigating whether Matar's car had been booby-trapped, which could make him the victim of a targeted attack, or whether he had been carrying a bomb that exploded prematurely. The Israeli army had no immediate comment on the incident.
"Avner! Was that you?"
"Wudn't me, Moshe." |
