| Hamas resistance fighter killed in mysterious explosion |
| 2004-06-17 |
| A 55-year-old Palestinian, member of the Islamic resistance movement Hamas, was killed in a mysterious explosion Tuesday in his house in Gaza City. I'm trying to figure what's mysterious about it... Palestinian witnesses said that they suddenly heard a huge blast, and then found the body of Awmi Taha in his house in Zaytoon neighborhood. They said that Taha was apparently preparing a bomb to be used against the Zionist terrorist army occupying the Gaza Strip. |

| #19 rich - you oughtta join in more often - it's therapeutic, heh. I was Green Machine circa 69 - when it sucked liked an F5 and you couldn't trust any officer 'cept Capt & Major not to be full of shit. I preferred the WO's - that was a fun bunch, heh. Speaking of fun, the LAW was just about the cat's meow. I got to yank the string a few times whacking tanks at the Knox Armor (25th USATCA - IIRC) range - waay cool shit, lol! I'd like to have a dozen or two to pass the time. Lol! |

| #18 If a fatal explosion at the house of a Hamas freedom-fighter is mysterious to this journalist than maybe we know why he didn't matriculate to med school. |

| #12 Badanov - I agree it's a win for the Israelis, but does this loser get his 72-year-old virgin if he didn't murder any Jews? It's not even a suicide, technically (though I consider playing around with explosives potential suicide, but maybe that's just me). |

| #11 This works for everyone. He gets his suicide, they expend their munitions, and no one is murdered. Win-win all the way 'round. |

| #9 Remember a couple of years ago when the Paleos had good boom management and were hitting Israel pretty hard? Now Upper Level Management, as well as qualified midlevel management is gone. That leaves the ramp slugs taking up management positions, and Mr. KABOOM is the result. Good work, IDF. Stick to the Plan and ye shall reap the rewards. |

| #3 Lost the formula? That's the problem when the instructions are written in half a dozen languages including pictures, very multi-cultural, but not very helpful. |
