Explosion kills 3 UNIFIL troops in south Lebanon | |
2007-06-24 | |
At least three Spanish UN peacekeepers were killed and six others wounded in an attack on a UNIFIL patrol in southern Lebanon on Sunday afternoon. The incident took place near Al-Hijam, south of Marj Ayoun, on the eastern part of the border with Israel. UNIFIL forces were on route to the site of the attack to investigate. According to Israel Radio, a car bomb detonated near a UNIFIL patrol vehicle. UNIFIL was unable to confirm the report, saying that it was unclear whether the incident was a terror attack. Officials said that the patrol may have run over a mine. However, they were not able to confirm that theory. The problem with trying to appease Muslims is that there are sooo many groups---and every single one has a different agenda.

#3 Unifil troops, if everbody gets to go home, will now be most satisfied to sacrifice just 5 members for a fatter wallet while serving there. What was Tipsy Livni saying about such jokers ever really fighting? |

#1 In theory a UNIFIL force should serve as a tripwire. I think all concerned understand that like Rawanda, it is a tripwire connected to an explosive device where the charge has been removed and a yoyo substituted. The only conequence to the killing of UNIFIL personnel is that the West will denounce itself and Israel. Unlike a tripwire, a yoyo string is no end of fun to pull repeatedly. I think most of the UNIFIL personnel will soon agree that it sucks to be a patsy. |
