Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Gaza: Blow to Paleo hopes of gaining ISO 9002 certification
2006-03-15
Three Palestinian terrorists identified as members of the Popular Resistance Committees were injured Wednesday morning during an attempt to fire Kassam rockets at Israel, Palestinian security forces reported. The rockets prematurely exploded before they were launched, the officials said.

The IDF, which has been shelling Kassam launch sites in the Gaza Strip in response to the barrage of rockets fired at Israel since Tuesday evening, denied involvement in Wednesday's incident. Palestinians launched five Kassams at Israel Wednesday morning. Four landed in Palestinian territory, and one landed in open Israeli territory in the western Negev. No one was wounded and no damage was reported as a result.

#17  Kind of reminds me of the old Viking joke.
Off the coast of England early morning 910AD,
in a Viking rading ship. "OK men, we are going to land and kill all of the MEN in the village, then we are going to rape all of the WOMEN, the we will STEAL everything we can carry to the ship, and THEN we will BURN the VILLAGE....AND FOR ODEN's SAKE GET IT RIGHT THIS TIME1"

#11  Looks like a problem complying with NFPA standards too. Their insurance company is going to be ticked.

#10  While there certainly seems to be significant quality issues with the Palestinian's rocket assembly procedures, long term durability really isn't a problem. Most of the Palestinian products usually end up in small pieces immediately after manufacture, often including some of the original design teams or transporters.

More importantly, in a society that essentially produces ZERO durable goods, the curse blessing of ISO certification is something that is better withheld.

#6  But did they document their procedures for launching rockets? That's really all that matters.
