A large, illegal weapons stockpile was found Thursday at the home of the Palestinian ambassador in Prague, Jamel al-Jamal, Czech media reported, a day after al-Jamal was killed in an explosion there.
Respekt, a Czech weekly newspaper, reported that the arsenal was enough to arm a unit of ten men. […]
Channel 2 News reported that the stockpile included heavy firearms, that it was held illegally, and that its existence had not been previously known to the Czech authorities. …

Coincidence ?
Let me guess, diplomatic immunity?
Herein lies one of the dangers of normalizing relations with a terrorist state. Perhaps all countries who have such embassies or recognize some entity from the Palestine area (or any other Islamic state) should rethink their politics and kick them and their people out.
And the fools just keep letting them in. No one has learned from what France and Britain have learned. Fools.
All in all, a good day for the Czech republic.

What else would one expect to find in a terrorist group’s ‘Ambasador’s’ home?
As far as I can tell the muzzies are ruining the UK and France!. When did they learn something?
Gee, imagine that.
Or one American home. Probably less.
“What else would one expect to find in a terrorist group’s ‘Ambasador’s’ home?”
No kidding. I don’t know why the news article writer thinks this is noteworthy—like this is some sort of big suprise. It’s almost the expectation.
Not for the liberal secular Israelis. They approach the Islamofascists the same way the Dems over here do.
Who will be sent to the funeral—Biden or Kerry?
The full article has one more relevant piece of info, though no listing of the “arsenal”.
They say:
1. Weaps were surrendered in a sack by a PA official who claimed they were “left over” from the Cold War period.
2. They reason the PA ambassador was deceased was a safe exploded in the ambassador’s residence killing him. Pause. Yes a safe exploded in his home. The safe had just been relocated from the building previously used by the PA as it’s embassy before a new one had been recently built.
Lots of lingo saying the safe had been in regular use for 20 years, yadda, yadda, yadda.
There would appear to be much more to the story that we may will hear.
Wiki says the old Commie Czechoslovakia recognized the state of Palestine in 1988. HOWEVER, the rumped off new Czech Republic does not. Under international law (if there is such a thing) the PA could argue that unless relations were formally revoked by the succeeding entity, then recognition remained.
If that is the case, an embassy is considered sovereign territory of the country that occupies it. Weapons kept there would not need to comply with the host country’s laws. Whether the ambassador’s house was on the embassy grounds would also be decisive in the legality of the stash.
What is interesting is that 8 member countries of the EU do recognize the PA, while the balance do not. So you could fly into and out of one of the 8 with diplomatic immunity to bring in secure diplomatic pouches and boxes stuffed with goodies, then drive to any EU country you wanted without further screening due to the open border clause of the EU treaty.
It has become a strange, strange world.
I also find it interesting that the ambassador was opening an old safe “by himself”. The article I read said he was opening it and asked his wife to get a pen and paper to list the contents. When she had left the room it exploded.
Wonder why weren’t others around to verify the safe contents? Why would he want to check it out privately?
PC will kill us all. We are doomed.
