IDF bumps off top Islamic Jihad commander in West Bank
2006-02-20
EFL. I wanted the Dancing Girls, but couldn't find which file it is.
You want it, you got it.
Israeli forces in the West Bank city of Nablus early Monday shot and killed Islamic Jihad's top commander in the region, the militant group said.

Lt. Col. Benjamin Shick, an Israeli commander, said his forces caught a group of militants, including Ahmed Abu Sharik, 30, off guard on the second day of a raid in Nablus. "We found a group of people we have been seeking for a while and we went for them," he said. "We know every street and alley, where they are and where they hide."

Military officials said Abu Sharik had been involved in numerous attacks on Israeli soldiers, and he helped plan a recent suicide attack in Tel Aviv. The army also arrested 15 militants overnight throughout the West Bank.

#14  I thank you Zen for clearing that up for me. I think it kinda seems a someday in the future when a Donk will go sane.

#12  so I'm trying to follow. does this mean they declare death to denmark, burn the estonian flag and rampage against the lithuanian embassy?

Only on the fourth Wednesday of a month containing more than two new moons. Otherwise, one inverts the order with Sharon being burnt in effigy after chanting of death to Norway preceded by a rampage against the Andoran embassy, but only if it is before tea time during a month ending in "R". If any of the exceptions still apply you must refer to Hoyle's rules of Fizzbin for clarification of whether the situation demands playing a shralk or the finesse of a kronk.

#6  Promotable. In the US (at least).

Officer records are reviewed by promotion boards. Those selected for promotion go on an ordered list, which is made public. They are actually promoted as slots come available.

#1  The entire Muslim world is outraged by this crime. We demand the UN revoke the existence of Israel or Allan will be very angry, and we will rocket Zionist kindergartens!
