Accidental grenade explosion kills two Palestinians
AFP ^ | June 28, 2006

Posted on 06/28/2006 9:39:58 AM PDT by West Coast Conservative

Two Palestinians were killed and another seven, including a baby, wounded when a grenade accidentally exploded in the southern Gaza Strip.

Family members were playing with a grenade in the town of Khan Yunis when it exploded, killing 23-year-old Qassem Massud and his one-year-old niece, medical and security sources said Wednesday.

All the casualties were members of the same family.

Hey y'all - hold mah goat & watch this!

(No mention of this being an Israeli grenade so I will assume that it was a peace loving Palestinian defense grenade.)

If you blow yourself up while playing with a grenade you do not get 72 virgins.

Hell, they show up at their weddings and such with their AK-47s and fire off rounds so what do we expect from these people? I think the problem is that they aren't allowed to drink so they can't just get good and drunk at a wedding like normal people.

I wonder how many times they were told to not play with those things inside the house?

I don't understand what the problem is. Wile E. Coyote never seemed to be injured that badly.

Perhaps better questions to ask are where did they get the grenade in the first place and what did they plan on doing with it?

Back in the 60's when the show Combat was a hit, my parents gave me a Mattel Thompson machine gun with a boobie trap. I never could get the boobie trap to explode. I guess the Palies have finally figured it out.
