| Robbers die trying to hold-up suicide bomber |
| 2004-04-27 |
| A Hamas suicide bomber blew up two armed Palestinians who tried to rob him at gun point in the Gaza Strip. Hamas claimed the âstickup menâ worked for Israeli intelligence, while Palestinian security forces said the two were ordinary thieves. Rather than give up his explosives, the bomber detonated them, killing himself and the two robbers near the border fence between Gaza and Israel. Palestinian security officials said the the gunmen were criminals who were involved in a car theft ring that brought stolen vehicles from Israel to Gaza. Hamas said the bomber was on his way to try to infiltrate into Israel, accompanied by another Hamas member and a guide, when they were stopped by the armed men. The robbers forced the bomber to lie on the ground and tried to steal the bomb, but the militant detonated it, killing all three. The other Hamas man and the guide escaped. There have been cases of rival groups stealing each otherâs explosives, but no group claimed the two gunmen, and their families did not go to the hospital to take the bodies, indicating that the two were not militants, who are revered in Palestinian society... |

| #19 ROFLMAO! That's priceless. Somebody nominate the 2 thieves for a Darwin Award! As we say in the rescue business, "Too stupid to live should be a valid diagnosis." (And in this case, it was. :-p) |

| #16 Just shows that the Israeli incursions, bank seizures, and the 'Wall' are having an affect on the paleos ability to get bomb materials. Of course you have to love the sheer irony of trying to rob someone of a suicide belt! In the words of Dr. Phil: "What the hell were you thinking!" Question to Korann Scholars: Do any of these three 'brave arabs' get into heaven? Do they get 72 virgins, just two, or do they have to share? |

| #15 Oh, my, from a law-enforcement POV, that was certainly...ummm...effecient. And funny, in a warped and perverted kind of way. Sure is hard being a working satirist, these days. |

| #9 If crooks wanted to steal a suicide bomb-belt there has to be a market for them.What kind of sales pitch do you make on a suicide bomb belt-"It's cherry,never been used.Feel the fine Corinthian leather behind the explosives."What kind of deposit do you have to give if you ask "Can I take the belt for a test drive?" |
