Hamas snuffy has work accident
2003-09-07
JPost - Reg Req’d
Palestinians found the body of Hamas militant Abu Al-Hasmi Sunday near the Jabalya refugee camp in the Gaza Strip.
Fairly large parts of it, anyway...
Al-Hasmi was apparently killed while working on an explosives device to be used in a terror attack, Israel Radio reported.
"Hmmm... Red wire to green wire?... Nope. That didn't work. How about red to black? Lessee if that works... [BOOM!]"
Earlier in the day, shots were fired at an Israeli car traveling near the Kissufim Junction in the Gaza Strip. No injuries were reported in the attack. Also Sunday, several mortars were fired at the Gaza Strip settlement of Neveh Dekalim. There were no reports of injuries in the attack but light damage was caused. IDF troops, operating in the Gaza Strip, arrested a wanted Palestinian militant Saturday night in Rafiah.

#10  The wiring problem is probably just about good lighting. Maybe switching to flourescent and away from using cigarette lighters during assembly would help.

#8   The ADA answer of course is numbered wires, textured wires, braille wires, talking wires, smelly wires and a color-helper.
All the better! That way, we can snuff two at a time! "Double your pleasure, double your fun, blow up two instead of one..." Hey, works for me.

Re: Requiring tests for Color-blindmess

It has come to my attention recently that several workers in the bomb construction department have filed for workmen's compensation for work-related injuries. Further investigation indicates that they connected the red wire instead of the green wire.

I propose that we begin testing our workers for color blindness. It will help lower our compensation payments, and increase worker morale. Please take whatever steps are necessary to make this happen.

If you have any questions about this new policy, please contact me via carrier pigeon rather than using my cell phone number.

Yours in Allah,
Ahmed

#5  One theory going around is the Israel special forces are doping possible bomb making material, so when assembled it will go boom. This makes the bomb makers a bit worry about his source of material. But when the cowards above you insist that you make more Jew-killing devices, you've got to take your life into your own hand.

#4  it just makes my morning to post an article like this, and I'd like to thank all the little bits of people that make it all possible, starting with Hamas militant Abu Al-Hasmi

#2  With hard deadlines bombmaking gets more stressful and mistakes happen. I've always heard that its better to have a cease-fire going if you get the most out of your bombmaking shop.

#1  Al-Hasmi was apparently killed while working on an explosives device to be used in a terror attack, Israel Radio reported.

It doesnt get any better than this. The Hamas killers are clearly losing this battle and they are committing suicide before they have a chance to kill people who want to live their lives.

Let the IDF help, Hamas. All the worrying and waiting and expense: all gone. Go on, light up that cell phone. Let us show you what truly inspired strategy can accomplish.
