Egypt 'not responsible' for tunnel deaths, sewage was
2011-09-28
BETHLEHEM (MaÂ’an) -- The Egyptian ambassador to the Palestinian Authority, Yasser Othman, said Wednesday that Egypt is not responsible for the recent deaths of three Palestinians in smuggling tunnels under the Gaza-Egypt border.
Nope. Wudn't us...
Othman said the deaths were very unfortunate, but Egypt is not responsible as it follows clear safety procedures when sealing off smuggling tunnels, which are "harmful to Egyptian national security," he told Ma'an.
Yo! Anybody down there?
Okay, boys. Start pumping...

The deaths were caused by “the absence of safety and security means within the tunnels, high risk in this profession, as well as the high rate of child labor involved in these tunnels which makes it more dangerous,” he said.
Awwwwwww, see what you made us do?
Three Palestinians were pronounced dead on Tuesday morning after Egyptian authorities pumped sewage inside a smuggling tunnel under the Gaza border on Sunday, medics had said.
...and they didn't smell too good either, that's for sure.

#5  Using similar logic, the 'rockets' or 'bullets' fired by the Paleostains at the Jooos are totally responsible for any injuries or deaths incurred, not the 'peaceful© citizens of Gaza'.

Of course, that particular logic set is only is applicable 'one way'.

#3  "Three Palestinians were pronounced dead on Tuesday morning after..."

"Abdul is down there!"

"Then Abdul is dead."

"Aren't you going to recover his body?"

"No. Go ahead if you want to."

"Shalom, Abdul."
