#2 ...he was shot dead by a squad of gunmen hiding in a dark alley of Nablusâ ancient Casaba. The gunmen were hiding in a melon? I think he meant qasbah or casbah.
If Phil hadn't recommended reading it, I would have stopped right there.

#3 The deadly Casaba. Very similar to the Irish potato bomb.

#7 "aristocratic families of Nablus"

They're kidding, right? "Aristocrat" and "Nablus" (or anywhere else occupied by the Paleswhinians) is an oxymoron.

Oh, wait - "moron" - "Nablus"....

Never mind.
