UNRWA investigates after rockets found in Gaza school
2014-07-19
The UN agency for Palestinian refugees UNRWA said on Thursday it was investigating after finding 20 rockets hidden in one of its vacant schools in the Gaza Strip.
They're sub-contracting the investigation to Eric Holder and the DoJ so you know there will be action pronto...
It condemned the incident as a “flagrant violation” of international law and said the rockets had been removed and the “relative parties” informed.

“Yesterday, in the course of the regular inspection of its premises, UNRWA discovered approximately 20 rockets hidden in a vacant school in the Gaza Strip,” the agency said in a statement.
A regular inspection, strongly facilitated by an Israeli general who grabbed the UNRWA supervisor by the scruff of his neck and said, "look at this!"
“UNRWA strongly condemns the group or groups responsible for placing the weapons in one of its installations,” it continued. “This is a flagrant violation of the inviolability of its premises under international law.”

It said the incident was the first of its kind, warning that it “endangered civilians including staff and put at risk UNRWA’s vital mission.”
Oh absolutely, no one could possibly imagine the Gazooks using a UNRWA facility as a missile depot. Nope, nope, that could never happen...
The statement said UNRWA “informed the relevant parties and successfully took all necessary measures for the removal of the objects.”

“UNRWA has launched a comprehensive investigation.”
They have Top People working on it now...

#7  Ya gotta hand it to the Palestinians for being so industrious. Just imagine, one day they might learn to use all this energy for doing good instead of evil. They could go to work for SpaceX instead of trying to kill tha Juice.

(They're probably already more cost effective than LockMart).

Approximately? What, the UNRWA can't count that high even with their shoes off?
