#2 My goodness. The AP actually used the phrase "violent Islamic group".

#3 Hamas security men kept photographers and TV cameramen away from the scene

Interesting. Media is only allowed when Israel kills palis, not when they die in other ways. So it's not really about the sad, senseless loss of human life. It's about managing media attention. How cynical. How palestinian.

#4 saying its men died while performing a "holy mission.".

Wowa couple of careless thugs blow themselves up and it still qualifies them for instant martyrdom? Huhwonder if its because after these little self-detonation mishaps new recruitment tends to slow down for awhile.

#5 If "Work Accidents" qualify them as "Instant Martyrs" all I can say is Let them all be Martyrs.
