#3 Maybe Hamas is right. Wouldn't most of the local thugs have shot the guy first and stripped him second? Or maybe I just hear the worst reports . . .

#4 Jeeze Louise! Being a robber in Gaza is a dangerous profession. I guess the best thing is to shoot the mark from a distance, having the olde Leopold on 9x, then approach cautiously after the mark is down and dead. Disarm detonator, then carefully remove belt and related wires from dead mark. Put belt in ones pack or shopping bag and merrily go on one's way.

They hide them in the schools, right next to the automatic rifles. This way, they can also be used as props for all those cute kindergarden graduation dress up ceremonies. ;â¢)
