4 Die in Gaza City House Explosion By IBRAHIM BARZAK, Associated Press Writer 51 minutes ago

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - An explosion destroyed a house after nightfall Monday in Gaza City, killing four people and injuring at least 30, residents and officials said. Three nearby buildings were reported on fire.

Residents said the wrecked home in the Shajaiyeh neighborhood near the border with Israel belonged to a well-known family of supporters of the Islamic militant group Hamas, but the Israeli military denied having anything to do with the blast.

"NO ACHMED! It's green first, then re....."

This color-blindness gas is working well for us, eh?

[ncountylee]

A Positive start!

Bush's fault?

"Bush's fault?"

We can always hope.
That raises another question: Does anyone know if the color-blindness gas is a Halliburton product or did the nefarious Jooooos whip it up on their own?

I've heard that the Mosad intercepts their timers or fuses from time to time and reworks them a bit.

"should this be ticking now?"

No,..it's OK,..It's stopped....

A rumour like that ("half of all detonators are wired wrong, you choose which half") must be very useful to the Israelis. Good for them.

C4 is very inert untill a powerful blasting cap sets it off. You can hit it with a hammer or even burn it for fuel. However a blasting cap is a touchy little bugger. Even radio emissions can set them off. Especially 'concentrated' radio emissions. Comes in real handy sometimes.

Dang.I waited and waited. Refreshed three times. No post. Reposted and immediately got a double. Sorry.

Would a garden variety firecracker also do the trick?

This is a characteristic of the FR servers. Just wait a few minutes, if it showed that it accepted your post.

Pop quiz... do you cross the black wire with the red?

Emphasis on "belonged".

I don't know. My knowledge is limited. We always used primer cord as caps were soooooo scary. I imagine a big cracker like the old M-80 that could take your finger off could do the trick.

Forgot to add .... that was with TNT.

They have scads of firecrackers there, they are used in celebrations (when they don't just shoot into the air).
