Israel-Palestine

Snuffy self-kabooms in Gaza

2005-05-29

A Palestinian militant was killed and two others were wounded when explosives they were handling blew up prematurely in the Gaza Strip early on Saturday, Palestinian medical and security sources said. A Palestinian security source said a militant from the Islamic Hamas group was killed in what he described as a "work accident", when an explosive device blew up prematurely outdoors in the northern Gaza Strip. The Hamas group identified the man who died as a 21-year-old field commander and said he was killed doing his "jihadic duty". It said he had been manning a Hamas position near the Jewish Elei Sinai settlement but gave no further details.

We haven't had any good red-wire/green-wire stories lately...

Another workman's comp claim for Mutual of Gaza ...

#7 Fresh improvised explosives also tend to explode in unexpected ways, or so my father has warned me. There was this accident in his lab when he was young... anyway, he ended up being an experimental subject for the Israeli transplant training program for their leading surgeons. And a bang-up job they did, too, although he only has nine fingers. Very odd to shake hands with the first few times, observed Mr. Wife, back before he earned his title. ;-)

#6 SPoD - a pound? I did myself some damage with a *much* smaller amount (Ok, I did put it in a bottle - I was *very* stupid, and much much younger), but a pound?! - wow, glad you're still here!

...as for the Hamas worm getting vaped, I simply raise a glass to its shade on the way to Hell...

#4 Improvised, old, unstable explosives tend to go off in unexpected ways. This is from someone who got very lucky when a pound of unstable blackpower went off all and once last July getting caught in the gas cloud was a pain full experience.

Amnesty International will despute wage garnishment anginst all Palestinian militant's families who are are routinely docked cold hard
cash for the time subjects are up in the sky.

#1 The Hamas group identified the man who died as a 21-year-old field commander and said he was killed doing his "jihadic duty".
