Yemen: Five dead in mosque shootout
2004-06-12
A GUNMAN opened fire on worshippers in a mosque outside the Yemeni capital during prayers today, killing four people and injuring six, according to police. The shooter, identified by a police official as Abdel Fattah Saleh, allegedly used an automatic rifle to fire randomly during the midday prayers at a mosque in the province of Dhammar, 60km south of the capital, Sanaa. Saleh fled to his house and refused to turn himself in to authorities.
"You'll never take me alive, coppers!"
Police stormed the house and Saleh was killed in an exchange of gunfire.
So they didn't...
Investigations were under way, the official said. But he said Saleh was not a wanted militant and that a domestic dispute may have prompted the shooting.
"She don't love me no more! Where's my shootin' iron?"

#2  go ahead, try and connect the logic

"Abdel, are you listening to me? I swear all you do these days is sit around the hut and clean that gun! And just why do you need a gun anyway, it's not like you are a fighter or anything, a real man would be across the border on jihad, that's what that nice young mullah in the mosque across the street sez, he sez its the duty of every good muslim to fight, not that you're a good muslim, just when was the last time you went to prayers anyway? Mullah Omar, he's the handsome one who chants across the street, Itoldyouabouthimediddn'tIswearidon'tknowifyoueverlistentomemornotanywaymullahomar......... Hey Abdel, where do you think you are going?"

"To the mosque."

"Why you taking your gun?"

"Gonna pray"
