Palestinian injured by land mine blast in Greece
2006-10-27
A Palestinian illegal immigrant was injured by a land mine after entering a minefield on Greece's northeastern border with Turkey, the army said Thursday. A Greek army statement said the Palestinian, along with another illegal immigrant from Iraq, who was also injured, entered the fenced minefield on Wednesday night, and were rescued early Thursday. The migrants were hospitalized in the nearby town of Didymoteicho, some 950 kilometers (590 miles) northeast of Athens, but the extent of their injuries was not immediately clear. Four illegal immigrants have been killed by mines in two separate incidents after straying into minefields on the Greek side of the border since July.

#12  "I don't do Greek" said the Pal, who then proceeded to get his butt blasted anyway.

#6  I guess fences work when installed next to mines.

#5  Which would be cheaper, a fence, a mine field, or a bounty for every left ear ?
The Greens are against a fence and a mine field, so we know where they stand.

#4  Hey, Felipe? Did you read this?
Why don't you give your little Berlin Wall speech to the Greeks?

#3  6 immigrants across that border since July. About, umm, 2 a month.

I'd settle for that kind of rate at the Southern Border, even though I'd have reservations about the methodology used...

At the present time...

And I reserve the right to change my mind as circumstances warrant.
