The son of radical Palestinian guerrilla leader Ahmed Jibril was killed Monday in a Beirut car bombing, Lebanese Hezbollah guerrilla television reported.
Al-Manar, the television station of the Hezbollah guerrilla group which has close links to Jibril's Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command, said Jibril's son, 40-year-old Jihad, died in the explosion.
It said it had received the confirmation from Jibril's headquarters in Damascus, Syria.
The blast occurred at midday on a street off the busy shopping area of Corniche Mazraa. Lebanese police officials speaking on customary condition of anonymity said the explosion was caused by a bomb placed under the driver's seat of the Peugeot sedan.
Ambulances, sirens wailing, rushed to the scene of the explosion. Police sealed off the area and opened an investigation.
The blast wrecked the car, shattering its windows and turning its front section into a twisted heap. Its white rear door had turned red with the victim's blood and flesh was scattered for a few meters around the car.
The blast also damaged neighborhood shops and parked cars but, apart from the driver, there were no other casualties.
As if he was aiding Israel.
Thanks for the morning chuckle.

You win best post award for this thread.
Now THAT's funny! ROTFL!
And I would say that you're entitled to your opinion.
But I don't think either of those things is true. Would you support Israel blowing up a car on a crowded New York City street if this man was the target?
Even so... I can't think of an American or Anglo-Saxon equivalent off hand. Can you? I mean... we have a few named Rocky in the last 20 years, but...
Dance on what, the grave of a terrorist? Sure. If I were a man, I wouldn't bother DANCING in it....
No but I read Rose's book.
This movie set the ground swell to reduce capital punishment and eventually outlaw capital punishment for a time in the U.S.
If you believe the premise of so many coincidences occuring, (1 in X million), you could believe the defendent was not guilty.
If you believe that, hell let's open up all the jails and let the convicts out, as I'm sure there is at least a million to one chance many convicts did not commit the crime the're in prison for.
12 Angry Men - just another liberal brainwashing of the masses.
I share SweetLiberty's opinion. He was a barbarian. The last thing the world needs is someone readvocatong the use of human scrotums for tobacco pouches.
Shoot the terrorists down, try them and hang them, blow them up where applicable...but let's not try to out-butcher the butchers.
I still stand by my opinion. You kill the enemy wherever you find them, in whatever form you find them; you hammer on them, their families, their society, and their culture until they collapse under the weight of the attacks.
Fight to the finish or don't fight at all ... just roll on your backs and surrender, if that's the attitude that you want to take.
I hate it when that happens.
