A former bodyguard of Hamas spiritual leader Ahmed Yassin was critically wounded in a mysterious explosion in the Gaza Strip today, sources said.

Palestinians accused Israel of attempting to assassinate the man, identified only as Mohammed Masser, 30, who is said to have lost limbs and suffered severe injuries to his upper body in the blast in Bureij Refugee Camp, not far from Yassin's home. Two other Hamas men were lightly injured.

However, Palestinians said no Israeli attack helicopters were seen over Bureij on Tuesday.

The IDF spokesman was checking the reports. Military sources said they were investigating the possibility of a premature explosion of a bomb being prepared by Hamas to set off against an Israeli target.

[hauerf]

Building bombs is no job for amateurs.

The Braves. Nah. But ... Go Lakers!

"work accident"

[kevao]

If a terrorist blows himself up in Gaza and no one's there to hear it, does it still make a sound?

[Catspaw]

Painful as it is, I still have hope for the Brewers, although I still consider the Braves as OURS.

Sounds like a "work accident" to me. Of course, any excuse will work for the Palis who love nothing better than to blame (ie: lie about) the nefarious Jooos for their own evil and stupidity.

A member of Hamas, wounded in an explosion? Yep, that's a stumper, alright. A puzzle wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a conundrum, if I ever heard one. Who can fathom such inexplicable events?

Israel has replaced its black helicopters with invisible ones. Pass it on.

But seriously, there seems to be a recent increase in the rate of industrial accidents in the Muslim sector.

Maybe they should require air bags in those things.

[Grampa Dave]

He was probably demoing a suicide bombers vest to a couple of really stupid potential Islamokazis, and his vest went bang.

Ever since the IDF raided Arafatty's head quarters, there have been a lot of premature Islamofacist Ejaculations, er explosions from this world.

[mware]

Someone call OSHA

[Alouette]

Sounds like a "work accident" to me.

Expect Reuters to display photos of the funeral featuring mourners shooting weapons in the air and shrieking for "revenge" for the Darwin Award winner holy martyr.

Well, they did say he lost limbs.

[Republic of Texas]

SLAM! Hear that? It's the window of opportunity for the Pali's, and the Braves slamming shut.

[Young Werther]

conundrum? Safe sex? Who blew him. Was Monica in Gaza?

It's a blue norther in the Dallas area. Schools and business closures boggle the mind. Where's Algore and Global Warming when you need it?

Have I exceeded my question quotient? Cabin fever in Arlan Texas?

HELP!
