20 Killed in Failed Syrian Scud Missile Test
by Hana Levi Julian
(IsraelNN.com) At least 20 Syrian civilians were killed and 60 were wounded in a failed missile test in May, Japan's Kyodo News reported Friday.
The test involved two updated Scud missiles developed together by Syria, North Korea and Iran. Both exhibited defective guidance systems, according to a Middle Eastern military source quoted in the report.
One of the short-range ballistic missiles hit a market near the Syrian-Turkish border, causing dozens of civilian casualties.
Syrian forces attributed the blast to a gas explosion and blocked off the site to recover the remains of the missile.

A small sacrifice for the masses to make to ensure the ultimate safety and comfort of the elites.

Sort of like the North Koreans testing a captured recoiless rifle with several high ranking officers standing in the back blast area.

Poor Syria, they keep having these non OSHA accidents courtesy of the Mossad.

Man, this is just a case of tough sh!t to me...
I hope some of their senior technicians were in the blast radius...Should set their program back a little bit...
At least its going to be hard to find the sucker...uhhh, dupe to run over and light the fuse under the next one...
He’ll have to be extra speedy!!!
To: Ben Hecks
Obviously a serious lack of intelligence on their part the first time...
Plain ole ignorance this time...
Bonus for everyone else, both times...
Lets go for three!!!

You know, down south most life threatening injuries start out with the phrase,
"Hey y'all! Watch this!" Wonder how you say that in Arabic?

"يا y'all! مشاهدة هذا!" There is no direct translation of "y'all" in Farsi that I know of...
