October 14, 2002 -- TEL AVIV - A Palestinian militant was blown up in a telephone booth yesterday near the West Bank city of Bethlehem, in a killing similar to previous Israeli assassinations.

The dead man was identified as Mohammed Abayat, 28, a commander with the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, a paramilitary group affiliated with Palestinian President Yasser Arafat's Fatah faction.

Someone set him up the booth.

Actually, I'd guess they've been watching him, learned his habits, and wired the booth. Or possibly simply watching the booth and when he entered it, they fired a pre-targeted munition of some sort...anybody who has actual knowledge of the technique, please correct my ignorance.

"Do the Israelis have a way to disable cell phones?"

No, just the callers.

I've notice an increase of 'probes' (routed packets) from a variety of IP addresses most of which start with 61, 200, 218. These are registered in Korea, China and Taiwan.

It is also getting harder and harder to get terrorists to answer the damned phone!

You are surprised? Here is how NPR would have reported the D-Day Invasion:

"June 6th, 1944...Normandy, France...Today, in an act of aggressive genocide, forces led and instigated by America attacked innocent German tourists enjoying the rainy and cold weather of the Normandy Resort Peninsula. Without thought to the consquences, they showered the beaches and inland areas with thousands of tons of high explosives and toxic chemicals, rendering the area's fragile eco-system uninhabitable for what esteemed scientists predict will be the next 150 years."
