Syria announced on Tuesday that Omar Hamra, the terrorist and military official at al-Tawheid and Jihad organization exploded himself on the border with Lebanon when intercepted by the Syrian security forces injuring two of them. An official source at the interior ministry said that on Tuesday at about 13:45 AM. and while the military official at al-Tawheid and Jihad al-Takfiri ( those who reject others faith ) whose name is Omar Abdullah and his alias is Omar Hamra, Syrian origin, 28 years old, was trying to cross the border at Jdaydeit Yabous point with forged papers; started to fire at members of the Syrian security forces from a war gun and tried to escape. | "Curly toed combat boots don't fail me no...oh, shit." |
The source added that due to the process of pursuing Hamra; he exploded himself with an explosive belt, the matter that killed and injured two members of the Syrian security forces.| I'll take chili and the points, Steve... |
Official authorities immediately rushed out to the site of the incident and started investigation and legal procedures. Nine forged IDs with various names were found with the terrorist who exploded himself. These IDs were used by Hamra to cross the border.| AMF and say hi to Himmler, loser. |
A slightly more coherent, but probably less informative, account...
 A Syrian leader of a militant group blew himself up at a Syrian border post on the Lebanese border after a gunbattle with Syrian security forces yesterday, the Syrian government said. An Interior Ministry statement said Omar Abdullah, 28, the leader of the militant group "Tawhid and Jihad," was attempting to cross to Lebanon at the Jdeidet Yabous border post with fake documents. The statement said he opened fire on security forces and attempted to escape. After a chase, Abdullah detonated his explosives belt, killing himself.
| The Gulf News version describes the late Omar as the leader of Tawhid & Jihad, Inc., a position formerly occupied by Zark -- always assuming this T&J isn't ripping off the Zark franchise in the interests of appearing more ferocious. |
