Dupe entry: 'Paleo Tunnelers Blow Up - Heh Heh
2006-10-06
Score an own goal! Ht to Captain Ed. Feel-good story of the mornin'
An explosion collapsed a tunnel under the Gaza-Egypt border early Friday, trapping five terrorists inside and killing at least one, Palestinians said.
how's that air supply, boys?
The Aksa Martyrs' Brigades said the five were members. The group refused to say what they were doing.
what they were doing? they're dying. Smuggled explosives and got a little rough, maybe?
The group said the explosion was not caused by an IAF air strike, after first blaming Israel.

The IDF said it had no forces inside Gaza and denied involvement in the incident.

#12  Indeed Pappy, work related accident. But kind of intersting to entertain the thought Egypt caved in their end. It's not like they'd want them to succede.

#11  I've a hunch it was hauled from Gaza to the border. Remember, the last time Egypt sealed their border with Gaza, the Paleos blew holes in the wall.

#10  Abu: Excuse me, Moshe, may we have a word?

Moshe: Certainly Abu.

Abu: Moshe, could we borrow one of your
caterpillars? The kind with the
large backhoe?

Moshe: But Abu ! I thought you guys hated
caterpillars?

Abu: No..no...no.. Moshe. You're thinking
of the friends of Rachel Corre.
Thats not us.

Moshe: Well then, certainly. I'll bring it
by next Tuesday.

Abu: Uh, Moshe...I was thinking...maybe I
could get it , like you know...today?

#8  #7 - because they don't believe in it?

After all, it's not mentioned in the koran, so it must not exist.

#5  Yeah, I was somewhat skeptical about the Israeli air force operating 40 feet underground. I don't think the US has sold the F-15 digger attachment to anyone else's military yet.
