Drone bad guys planted...

Lemmings Mourners shouted "revenge, revenge" and masked Hamas gunmen looked grim as they carried the bodies of the six on stretchers around four km to Gaza City's Dump Martyrs Cemetery. "We will not rest and our eyes will see no sleep before we avenge the deaths of our brothers," said one crazed killer militant, clutching a U.S.-made an M-16 assault rifle. Other Hamas men wept silently.
"It's just too painful. I can't utter dire threats of revenge yet..."
Vows of revenge sounding through loudspeakers also came from activists of the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades and the less influential Islamic Jihad. The three groups have led militant violence against Israel in the uprising for independence in Gaza and the West Bank.
"Hey! We want in on this, too!"
As the bodies were brought for burial, women wailed and ululated. "Allahu Akbar (God is greatest)!" they cried. "Death for Israel and for the collaborators." Gaza City stores closed down for a day of mourning. "I think a bombing attack inside Israel is just a question of time now," said one store owner. "Israel has done its best to provoke Hamas and all Palestinians."
"Yeah. They do that stuff for no reason at all..."
Mourners urged Hamas to fire rockets and mortar bombs into Jewish settlements and Israel — tactics that have provoked harsh Israeli retaliation including raids and house demolitions. Rantissi said the death of the six members of Hamas's Izz el-Deen al-Qassam military wing was a "big loss" but one that would only increase their determination to fight Israel.
"I mean, it ain't like we don't have more cannon fodder than we can use, y'know?"

#1  How did this clown get hold of an M-16, the black market? I thought they liked the AK-47, the preferred weapon of our enemy, which makes a distinctive sound when used for gun sex fired.
