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.

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.

Then they'd just be a bunch of drunks shooting their AKs off in the air. While I admit that guns and alcohol go together like peanut butter and jelly, I don't want these bastards having that much fun. ;P

Our family stopped doing this years ago.

Bingo. I sincerely doubt that these Palis were "playing" with anything.

This grenade was a weapon that they carried with full intent of using against Israelis at some future time, and it just happened to go off prematurely.

Exactly. Would one of the family members be a Homicide Bomber that forgot the pin is to be pulled at destination and not before?

I'm sure the reporter had the story wrong. No doubt an IDF soldier threw a grenade directly at the one year old, and her 23 year old uncle bravely threw himself in the path of it to try to save her life, but alas, once again death was found at the hands of the evil Zionist occupation.

Really! Ain't that the truth! It must have happened too quickly for them to call all the MSM reps and set up the scene for the screen shot.

Shades of Max Cleland.

Maybe they were recent graduates of Max Cleland's school of grenade launching.

Sigh, I was prepared to respond, "Workplace Accident" when I saw the thread title.

Let's try:

"Playdate Accident"
