You just knew this was going to happen sooner or later. All the experienced suicide bombers are already liver pate on a sidewalk somewhere, and the rookies just don't have the skilz to practice basic suicide bomber safety.

"Those who sent him are godless. His brother and cousin were just killed," said Yasser al-Masri, a cousin. "How can we have three dead in the family in one week?"

Can we all say "religion of DEATH???"

Aww... "work accident?" Never wear a loaded belt on the way to a massacre. You might end up burnt toast - alone.

How can the AP write this stuff with a straight face? Exploding belts are expected to explode.

All those people dead, and those outside of the country are just egging on the Palestinians to do more, to sacrifice more.

One wonders how many of those people would be alive without Al Jazeera broadcasting their crud.

Only the homocide bomber got taken to kingdom come. Of course belts like this explode. You can't make a revolution without corpses.

This is significant:

Other relatives gathered at the family home bitterly blamed Palestinian militant groups for inspiring youths to kill others and themselves. "Those who sent him are godless. His brother and cousin were just killed," said Yasser al-Masri, a cousin. "How can we have three dead in the family in one week?"

It seems not all Palistinians are stoked on suicide as a way of life. (But Arafart did get 100% in the last 'election', no?)

Exactly. It worked properly, it was the efficiency that caught them off guard.

I wonder if the warranty covers premature detonation? Maybe it guarantees a couple of extra virgins to the wearer or something.

When are the Islamofascists going to wake up? Money for murder is murder, brainwashing other people's child to murder and suicide is worse than murder. They will all have to answer to God.

I hope that they do have to answer to God. However, I think that a parent instills this kind of hate in a child that would give up his life to make a point. As a rule, I do believe, most people cherish their lives at all costs.
