A man accused by Israel of implication in numerous terror attacks was killed in unclear circumstances near the West Bank town of Nablus Wednesday morning, prompting the militant Hamas group to accuse the IDF in his killing.

Twenty eight year old Amin Faddel was killed in an explosion that went off in an apartment in the village of Zawata at about 8:30 A.M. Faddel had rented the apartment four days earlier. The IDF said he had been on Israel's most wanted list for two years on suspicion of involvement in attacks on Israelis.

A report on Israel radio quoted Palestinian and IDF sources as saying the explosion that killed Fadel was likely the result of a "work accident." Local firefighters said the blast went off inside the house, ruling out a missile strike.

Israel has killed scores of suspected militants in targeted attacks in the past 31 months of fighting. However, a number of militiamen also died while handling explosives that went off prematurely.

"Premature detonation" -- don't you hate when that happens?

Yes, real bummer. Do you suppose he left his girlfriend hanging (some of her hanging over here, some over there...)?

[Bahbah]

No.

No matter the color of his eyes, they are blew now.

Will this be ruled a terrorist screwup, or work-related martyrdom?

I'm not sure incidents like this will affect the virgin stockpile in the afters-lam.

Since the IDF raid old Arafarty's office, there has been a rash of work related Islamokazi accidents resulting in just in time Islamokazi self inflicted premature eradication!

You mean that it went...KABOOM?!

Too bad he didn't take out more IslamaNazis with him.

That's what ya get when you don't follow the instructions... Stupid Mohammadites.

Uh, remote controlled detonation. I suspect the Israelis are smarter than the blind radical Palestinian bloodlusters ... sooner or later, some smart scientist was gonna figure out how to remotely 'stimulate' a bomb factory, likely with some tuning of microwaves. Oops! I shouldn't let that out, should I?

[American in Israel]

Radar is microwaves, just highly focused ones...

Sure am glad that the PA is working overtime to eradicate terrorism. Does it count for the "road map" when they blow themselves up trying to make a bus bomb?
