Khamis Ahmed Ali, 42, a member of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, was killed near the Askar camp in a half-hour shoot-out. An Israeli military statement said that "a unit on operations overnight in the village of Askar, in a sector where Israel ensures security, surprised an armed terrorist who was killed in an exchange of fire." The death brought to 1,138 the number of people killed as a direct result of the intifada, or Palestinian uprising, including 874 Palestinians and 242 Israelis. His body was handed over to the Palestinians.
Snuffy will get a nice funeral, with lotsa people shaking their fists and shooting guns into the air to show their manhood. Then they'll forget about him move on to the next deader. Sad, isn't it? A person never expects his own death to be boring. Enjoy the virgins, Khamis. |
