Lousy shots I saw most hitting roads and woods, if they stopped screaming ALLARABAD and aimed they might hit something.
Barbarians with weapons praying to hit, ans allah seems to be a lousy shot.

The Colombian Army rescued police general Luis Mendieta and police colonel Enrique Murillo, who were kidnapped by leftist rebels 12 years ago, President Alvaro Uribe announced Sunday.
It was Mendieta's birthday Sunday. He turned 51.
Mendieta and Murillo were taken hostage by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) in 1998.
The country was especially moved by the plight of Mendieta, and that of other FARC hostages, when a letter from him was made public in early 2008.
"I had to drag myself to the bathroom through the mud just with the help of my arms because I could not get up," Mendieta wrote in a graphic letter to his family on a dirty piece of paper.
His legs had given up on him after months of forced marches and illnesses. Other hostages spoke of parasite infections, chronic illnesses, hunger, thirst and especially despair.
"(The worst is) the mental agony, the bad guy's evil and the good guy's indifference, as if we were worth nothing, as if we did not exist," Mendieta wrote.

It is my understanding that the bad guys didn't make off with any money.
A defence volunteer in Thailand's southernmost province of Narathiwat was killed in a drive-by shooting on Monday morning, the Bangkok Post's website reported.
Maravee Yamabala, 37, was attacked by two men on a motorcycle as on his way to buy food at a shop in his village. He was shot twice, in the head and back, and died at the scene. Police were investigating.
Meanwhile, two soldiers and three civilians were injured when a bomb exploded at the morning market in the Thepha community of Thepha district in Song-kla province, police said. The home-made bomb was hidden inside the oil tank of a motorcycle parked in front of the market. The injured were admitted to Thepha hospital. Police blamed terrorists separatist militants.
TEHRAN, June 14 (Reuters) - Iran is sending aid ships to blockaded Gaza, state radio said on Monday -- a move likely to be considered provocative by Israel which accuses Tehran of arming the Palestinian enclave's Islamist rulers, Hamas.
One ship left port on Sunday and another will depart by Friday, loaded with food, construction material and toys, the report said. The boats would be part of international efforts to break Israel's isolation of the Gaza Strip.
"Until the end of the Gaza blockade, Iran will continue to ship aid," said an official at Iran's Society for the Defence of the Palestinian Nation.
While Israel has long suspected Iran, which rejects the Jewish state's right to exist, of supplying weapons to Hamas, Tehran says it only provides moral support to the group.
Israeli troops two weeks ago boarded a flotilla of Turkish aid ships heading to Gaza on May 31 and killed nine pro-Palestinian activists, most of them Turks.
Public opinion in Muslim countries was outraged by the killings. An official of the Iranian Red Crescent Society's youth organisation said some 100,000 Iranians had volunteered as potential crew for aid ships, Iran daily reported.
A senior Iranian official said earlier Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards were ready to provide a military escort to aid ships heading to Gaza if Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei so commands. But the Guards' deputy head, Hossein Salami, said there were no plans to do so. "Such a thing is not on our agenda," he was quoted as saying by the official IRNA news agency on Monday.
Any such military mobilisation would risk a major confrontation with Israel, which fears Iran's nuclear enrichment programme is aimed at developing atomic bombs.

They probably don't supply weapons to Hamas. They supply them to Hezbola and Syria and Syria supplies Hamas.
