Israelis rounding up thugs and gunnies
2002-03-30
  • In al Bireh, Israeli forces rounded up hundreds of Palestinian males between the ages of 15 and 45. About 260 men were taken into a nearby school for questioning. Israeli forces have detained about 140 men in the past two days.
    Surprised the number's so low...
    Meanwhile, the bodies of five Palestinians, four in military-style uniforms, were found shot to death in another building in downtown Ramallah on Saturday. CNN's Michael Holmes went to the scene before the bodies were removed and said hundreds of shell casings from M-16s, the weapon of choice for the Israeli army, littered the floor.
    Well. It musta been an atrocity...
    The Israeli army said that gunfight began when a Palestinian opened fire on an army force that was outside the building, and then threw a hand grenade. "In response, the Israeli army forces entered the building to search for the gunman, and when they entered, the gunmen opened fire from one of the rooms," the army said.
    Oh. Guess it wasn't an atrocity. Well, you tried, CNN. Maybe next time.
