#1 Now I'm getting worried. The Paleos have finally figured out, after all those work accidents, that they don't know what they're doing with bombs. So they brought in a world expert.

#3 The British media reported Monday that an Irish
national arrested by Israel on suspicion of coming
to teach Palestinian terrorists how to upgrade
their explosives is a journalist and not a member
of the Real IRA. Israeli security sources said
that they had received a report of a possible case of mistaken identity Monday evening, and
that they are investigating. The BBC identified the man as Sean O Muireagain, a reporter for the Irish-language newspaper "La," which is based in Belfast. A member of the paper's staff, Ciaran O Pronntaigh, told the BBC that Muireagain was "a well-known Irish language and Palestine Solidarity Committee activist in Belfast," who was reporting from the West Bank city of Jenin.
Muireagain was arrested Saturday in Ramallah
after Israel launched a manhunt for a suspected
Real IRA terrorist, following a tip-off from
the British security services.

The BBC says he's a journalist, so it must be true. Right?
