GAZA (Reuters) - Palestinian gunmen briefly seized the parents of slain U.S. activist Rachel Corrie as they visited the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, but relented after being confronted by a member of the security forces, witnesses said.
They said Craig and Cindy Corrie, whose daughter was fatally run down by an Israeli bulldozer as she tried to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian building in 2003, were at the home of a friend in the Gaza town of Rafah when the gunmen arrived.
The gunmen appeared set on kidnapping the two Americans, the witnesses said. Gaza has seen a rash of foreigner abductions since Israel withdrew from the territory in September after 38 years of occupation.
But a local security officer intervened and the gunmen beat a retreat. as they visited the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, but relented after being confronted by a member of the security forces, witnesses said.

So, it's genetic?
Trying to muscle in on Cindy Sheehag's spotlight, uh?
"Do you know who we ARE?"
"Yes, infidels."
Morons.
Do they want to dance with a 'dozer, too?
The parents of TANKGIRL are as stupid as she was. More bulldozer fodder, IMO.
LOL!
Make a great movie - Dancing with Dozers.
These peace activists are like cult members. They think they are exempt from reality.
Certainly looks like it. According to this thread the bulldozers were out and about:
MILITANTS BREAK THROUGH A BORDER WITH EGYPT (Palestinians Use Bull Dozers)
Déjà Vu - as I read your post it seemed like I had already read it before.
Too bad they didn't behead them. It would have hammered home the message to the idiotic terrorist loving left. Hmm, maybe it wouldn't.
Ping.
They should team up with Nick Berg's parents and Cindy.
Your insensitive remark flattens me.
