Gaza Blast Kills Hamas Militant
2006-06-05
Ooops. Better get Mutual of Gaza down there with their Safety in the Workplace videos. Doesn't look like they took...
An explosion has killed a Palestinian militant and injured two others. A powerful explosion destroyed a house in the Jebaliya refugee camp, in the northern Gaza Strip.
The blast killed Ahmed Ibrahim Sari - a member of the armed wing of the Hamas militant group. Sari's wife and eight-year-old child were also injured in the blast.
Ahmed, come to bed.
In a minute, woman! I just have to check one more...

A spokesman for the Israeli military says the Israeli Army was not involved in the incident.
Nope. We're not sorry it happened though.
More than a dozen Palestinians have been killed in recent days in worsening violence between the Palestinian factions Hamas and Fatah. Occasionally, Palestinian militants are accidentally killed while handling explosives.
Yes, so we've heard...

#3  The reporter should know by now to avoid the passive voice. It is better to write:

Occasionally, Palestinian militants terrorists dumbasses kill themselves accidentally while handling explosives.

The reporter should reread Strunk and White immediately.

#1  How can it be an accident when you're deliberately handling explosives? It can be carelessness, stupidity, clumsiness, etc., but none of that is what I think of as an 'accident'.
