JERUSALEM -- A Hamas official was killed yesterday when his sport-utility vehicle exploded in a neighborhood of Damascus seconds after he started the engine...
[ snip ]
''Our official position is we don't comment," said Gideon Meir, a senior Israeli Foreign Ministry official. He added: ''Hamas immediately blames Israel ..... They will always blame us."
[ snip ]
''Israel and Mossad are behind it," said Mushir Masri, a spokesman for Hamas in the Gaza Strip. ''They assassinated him."
[ snip ]
Khalil died instantly .... Witnesses said he was speaking on his mobile phone and had put his Mitsubishi SUV in reverse when it exploded about 10 yards from his home.
[ snip ]
Haitham Kilani, a Syrian political analyst, said the assassination was an ''Israeli-American message" that Syria should take seriously. He predicted more assassinations if Syria ''shelters and protects the Palestinian movements struggling against Israel."

Is there a fund to help the family of the SUV?

So there are good SUVs as well as bad ones. I'm glad to hear it.

Is there a fund to help the family of the SUV? Yes. Look in your Yellow Pages for the nearest Mitsubishi dealer.

''Israel and Mossad are behind it," said Mushir Masri, a spokesman for Hamas in the Gaza Strip. ''They assassinated him." I certainly hope so. ......although I must admit I'm growing fond of Islamist "work accidents."

Maybe Mitsubishi should look in to recalling their SUVs. There is obviously something wrong with the engine.
To: rface
Shucks, a Mitsubishi SUV probably holds six people. Couldn't he have car pooled and loaded up five more terrorists before putting it in reverse?

"Witnesses said he was speaking on his mobile phone and had put his Mitsubishi SUV in reverse when it exploded" I heard Mitsubishi was having transmission problems but this is ridiculous.
To: rface
Probably the good guys are responsible, but it could be a power struggle in the terrorist ranks or even a Syrian op.

It has an SUV and a cell phone; this death counts double!

You are in good hands with Allstate. I hope his policy was up to date.
To: NorseWood
I don't think Allstate will pay out--he was talking on his cell phone at the time.
