#8 "So, Watson, one must wonder whether the bomb was in the safe that hadn't been touched in 20 years....or in the Paleo Ambassador? Which is more likely?" |

#3 The plot thickens... PRAGUE — The Palestinian ambassador to the Czech Republic died Wednesday in a blast that occurred when he opened an old safe that had been left untouched for more than 20 years, officials said. Palestinian Foreign Minister Riad Malki said no foul play was suspected, noting that the safe had been left untouched for more than 20 years. It also appeared that the door of the safe had been booby-trapped, according to Zoulova. It was unclear how al-Jamal tried to open it or what type of safe it was. The safe was recently moved from the old embassy building, but it had come from a building that used to house the Palestinian Liberation Organization's offices in the 1980s, Malki said. "The ambassador decided to open it. After he opened it, apparently something happened inside (the safe) and went off," Malki told The Associated Press. It was not immediately clear how Malki knew the safe had been untouched for more than 20 years or why and when the safe would have been booby-trapped. The boys leave some of their old toys laying around? |
