Gaza Strip: IDF kills terrorist 'couple'
Jerusalem Post ^ | Jan. 7, 2008

Posted on 01/07/2008 12:32:17 PM PST by Alouette

Two armed Palestinians, a man and a woman, approached IDF troops near the Erez Crossing Monday afternoon and started shooting, prompting return fire, Army Radio reported.

The two combatants were killed in the incident. The IDF found additional ammunition on the scene, including an explosive device on the woman's person.

Soldiers said the two were holding hands, apparently pretending to be a couple. Palestinian sources named the woman as Usma Abu Fanuna, of the Nuseirat refugee camp.

No casualties were reported among the soldiers.

According to the IDF, female bombers were responsible for the deaths of up to 37 Israeli civilians through the seven years of the Second Intifada.

The Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility, saying the woman managed to detonate the explosives on her person rather than being killed by the soldiers.

So, does that mean that she gets more points, or what? It's pretty clear that she doesn't advance to the next level or get a replay. I can never figure out the rules of this crazy game...
