On other terrorist fronts, a "donkey bomb" attack failed when a donkey laden with explosives was detonated alongside a line of Israeli cars. Several passengers were treated for shock, and light damage was caused. Josh Adler of Efrat told Arutz-7 what happened: "I was on my way to Jerusalem, and I saw a donkey on the road. It appeared both suspicious and dangerous, so I notified the Gush Etzion Emergency Center, and then I continued traveling and saw another donkey, this one with two baskets on it. I wanted to call again, but exactly at that moment it blew up near my car."

In what a passenger in the car behind him described as "miraculous," Adler said that his injuries amounted only to "ringing in the ears and a headache. Nearby and slightly beforehand, an explosive was hurled at a Border Guard jeep; no one was hurt.

Two soldiers killed on Thursday night while they were patrolling the highway south of Hevron were buried today. Corp. Assaf Bitan was laid to rest in the military section of the Afula cemetery, while Corp. Ronald Berer was buried in Rehovot. The funeral of the third victim, Yaakov Naim, was held on Friday in his hometown of Kfar Monash, near Netanya.

Many general terrorist warnings have been received for the coming days, and the police and security services are on alert. A general closure has been imposed on all Arab villages in Judea, Samaria, Gaza and the Jordan Valley, to be removed the day after the elections, early Wednesday morning. The roads to and from these areas, and the Allenby and Rafiach border crossings into Jordan and Egypt, will be totally closed during this period, except for humanitarian emergencies.

Yeah.

Think about it. You see a donkey walking down the road without a person leading it. At the same time the donkey has a lot of "goods" on its back. Why would it be going by itself without a leader if it had so much valuable goods?

Makes sense to me.

Heck, I see it all the time.

I'M KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry, it just read funny. I'm NOT making light of this whole situation.

[Nick Danger]

The Democrats better not try this. We'll send an exploding elephant.

[dennisw]

Will the donkey get 72 virgins?

Only if there's a Tijuana in the martyr's paradise of Allah.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Right before the explosion the donkey was heard to bray...

JI-HAWWWD! JI-HAWWWD!

[ErnBatavia]

Talk about getting a "piece of a**" the hard way!

[boris]

This could have been much worse. It could have been a MØØSE bomb.

[Eternal_Bear]

Surprised they aren't using bomb dogs yet. The Russians used them against the Germans in WW II. The Germans also used very small explosive laden "tanks" against the Americans at Aachen. They were wire controlled back then but they could be radio controlled today.

[Elsie]

Well... it's not all that different from the Muslim-Hindu conflict on the sub-continent.

Do to the tolerance given the sacred cows in the area, a militant group has taken to using remote detonators to ignite a small, highly devastating plastic bomb that had been made of a size to be ingested by the larger animals, a male usually.

As the poor creature has roaming freedom along the streets and highways, the terrorists would merely wait until it had moved alongside of the intented target and then the button would be pressed.

So many of these attacks were taking place that the New Delhi headlines screamed:

This new wave of terrorism is simply abominable!
