Acid leakage results in apprehension of would-be bomber (Burned Hole in Self)

Police recently nabbed Palestinian at central Israeli city after phosphorus material leaked from his bomb-belt causing him severe burns.

Police officers recently foiled a suicide bombing attack in Israel, it was revealed on Monday. However, a highly unusual chain of events led to his apprehension.

It appears a leak in his bomb-belt caused phosphorus material to reach his skin causing such a severe burn that a hole was literally seen in the stomach of the would-be bomber.

Police forces who were recently on high terror alert in one of the cities of central Israel noticed a Palestinian running “like crazy”. They began a chase and soon detained him. At first they suspected that he ran because of the panic that suddenly gripped him when he noticed the large security deployment. However, it was then revealed that the reason for his detention was a severe burn in his stomach.

The terrorist was rushed to a nearby hospital and for days suffered pain from the material that consumed his skin.

Palestinian terror groups have tried in the past to add chemical substances to bombs. At the site of the triple bombing in Jerusalem some two years ago, remnants of a chemical material were discovered.

However, police stress it is a rare occurrence. Since the start of the Intifada, the terrorists rarely came to use such means.

If he can't stand a little acid burn, how is he going to stand eternity in hell?

Maybe we could start a rumor that the evil zionists have discovered that a heavy dose of x-rays to the brain can make soldiers invisible or something.

Two hours per day for a month or so should do it.

LOL!!! Personally, I would have not taken him to any hospital. I would have placed him in a holding cell, and let nature take it course. He did wish to die. So what if it took days rather than nanoseconds.

Phosphorus is not acid. Phosphorus will burn when exposed to air though.

It's pretty nasty on skin, etc. If he was willing to inflict that pain on his bombing victims, he got less than he deserved.

Nope, give him all the care modern western medicine can provide. Nurse him back to health. Then pump him for all the intelligence he can provide.

Phosphorus is bad stuff. I met someone who had a phosphorus grenade go off about a foot from his face. Not a pretty sight....

geez, I hope the hospital didn't get to treat him too soon. They must have been busy with that mother and her four children that his pig brothers slaughtered.
