| A powerful explosion tore through a two-story house on Friday, killing three brothers and injuring four other people, witnesses and doctors said. Two of the brothers killed in what appears to be the premature detonation of an incendiary device were members of the militant group Islamic Jihad and the Hamas military wing. It appears that the three were at the home of a fourth brother, who is on Israel's wanted list, when the blast occurred. "Hey, Mahmoud! Toss me that detonator, wouldja?" "Ahmed, you've got grease all over your... BOOM!" Police and rescue workers on the scene did not immediately know the cause of the blast, which left much of the house in ruin. My guess would be a bomb. What's yours? Similar blasts have resulted from bombs that accidentally exploded as they were being built. The explosion ripped through a room in the middle of the house. Blood and "Now, who's gonna clean up this mess?" Dr. Moawia Hassanein at Gaza City's Shifa Hospital said the three dead were from the same family. Four others were undergoing surgery. ... to remove masonry from their faces. A neighbor said one of those living in the house was Iyad Sharif, a well-known member of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement. G'bye, Iyad. Give our regards to the 72-year-old virgin...
