| Breaking: Islamic Jihad Military Leader snuffed In Gaza Helizap |
| 2004-10-05 |
 Israeli aircraft fired two missiles at a car in Gaza City, killing one person and wounding four in what appeared to be the latest strike against militants. One missile hit the car, killing one of its two passengers and setting the vehicle ablaze, witnesses and hospital officials said. The second missile missed. Four people were wounded, including the other passenger in the car. It was not immediately clear who the passengers were. The Israeli army had no immediate comment. |

| #28 What amazes me is that the flash from the photographer's camera is the only thing illuminating the whole scene. You have the yellow-helmet guy with a lamp, and some source of illumination in the middle background, but that's it. Imagine rooting through the smoking wreckage of a burned-out car looking for exploded body parts in near complete darkness. Take what you'd think of yourself doing so, and project this image onto the Palestinians. Act accordingly. Lesson 1 completed! Nice Job. |

| #27 There's a woman in a hijab on the left-hand side, only her eyes visible. Some dude in a yellow-and-brown speckled shirt is running up like he's afraid somebody's gonna get all the big pieces before he can. Kinda reminds me of the Afghani game of Buzkashi, where they ride around on horses and bash a goat's inflated stomach around (wonder who gets the swell job of inflating the stomach?). |

| #22 The best is the caption on the final picture from that Fox News link. It reads (I swear): "Oct. 5: Palestinians try to move the wreckage of a car in Gaza city." Move the wreckage??!?!?!?! |

#18 AM, you're just not examining this with the requisite degree of nuance: 1. Remains of baby duck embedded in frame. 2. Smashed kitten beneath wreckage 3. Kid with creep's arm around his neck. Smoldering rubble may be spectacular, but I consider a bit bourgeois and even crass. |

#17  ....what the hell do they do with the parts after they get em? Perhaps they are piecing together the parts to make the ultimate jihadi? eLarson, they do watch movies though they don't admit it... |

| #16 No, I'd rank it as a 8.5 swarm. No smoking rubble. No baby ducks, puppies, kittens, women, or children. |

| #15 I detect a general "swarthyness" at most car swarms - ya don't see a lotta blond swedes there - would it be inappropriate to suggest it's a cultural thing? LOL |

#13  Frank, you're right, this is an excellent swarm. I give it a 9.0 for form and a 9.5 for style, the guy in the weird yellow hardhat is an expecially artful and flamboyant touch. |

| #11 GAZA (Reuters) - Israel killed the chief military commander of the Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad in a airstrike Tuesday, the highest profile Israeli assassination for months, local leaders of the group said. The Israeli army had no immediate comment on the death of Bashir ad-Dabbash, 38. Another militant was critically wounded in the strike, witnesses said. Bashir/Bashar Bashed "Israel will soon see our reaction. Revenge will be painful and inside the depths of the Zionist entity," one local leader said at the morgue in Gaza. Dabbash was the most senior militant killed in Gaza since Israel's assassination of Hamas leader Abdel-Aziz al-Rantissi in April. |

| #3 excellent swarm, nice form, good non-coordination of efforts to get Bits-O'-IJ-Biggy bodyparts....what the hell do they do with the parts after they get em? Wipe it on your shirt to try and prove you were there (like Jesse Jackson at MLK's shooting)? |
