Three suicide bombers?

What must the two not driving think when their leadership sends them out to die as camoflauge?

"rigged with thousands of pounds of TNT blew themselves to bits yesterday during a gunfight"

That's a new one. I have often heard "never bring a knife to a gun fight". These Darwin Award candidates show that one should "never bring thousands of pounds of explosives to a gun fight."

I can't believe what I'm reading!

The NYP relating a news story without all the propaganda buzzwords? The bombers? "Blew themselves to bits"? No "illegal" preceding "settlements"? No mention of "incursion" or "occupation"? Actual use of the word "hideout" in reference to a bomb-maker?

I'd better go back to bed and sleep this off: I think I am sleep-reading :)

Blown up

Israeli soldiers inspect a blown-up car belonging to Palestinians on Sunday at the Gush Katif junction in the southern Gaza Strip. Three Palestinian militants were killed in an attack on an Israeli army post guarding a Jewish settlement in the Gaza Strip on Saturday, when a car pulled up at a checkpoint guarding the Gush Katif settlement bloc and one of the attackers opened fire. -- AFP

The more bombers snuffed before reaching their objective = more anxiety among bombers to meet their objective = more mistakes in attempting to reach their objective = more bombers snuffed before reaching their objective. Just keep them bottled up the hell hole of their own making.

Sounds right to me.

I hope they also gave the driver a post-humous ticket for driving an "unsafe" vehicle. LOL!
