Terrorists Arrested, Self-Proclaimed Messiah Shot by Hamas
2007-10-17
Two terrorists from Fatah and Hamas were arrested in Shechem Tuesday after a 20-hour manhunt. IDF sources say one of the men was previously involved in a suicide bombing in Jerusalem.
And he's still alive? What kind of 'suicide bombing' was that?
A weapons cache near where the terrorists were caught contained two mortar shells that were to be used to create bombs. IDF soldiers arrested five other wanted terrorists on Tuesday night, in Kalkilya. The detainees are being questioned.

An Arab terrorist hurled firebombs at IDF troops on a counter-terrorism operation Tuesday night in the village of Anabta, east of Tul Karem. The Arab threw three firebombs and was about to throw a fourth when he was shot by the IDF. His condition is unknown. No IDF injuries were reported.

A Gaza man incurred the anger of a Hamas-affiliated preacher in Gaza Tuesday by claiming to be the Mahdi, or Muslim redeemer. The man went to the Imam to seek his endorsement and instruct him to tell Muslims to follow his instructions. The Imam reacted by summoning armed Hamas men, who arrived and told the self-proclaimed redeemer to take back his claims. When the man continued to insist that he was the Mahdi, police shot him in the foot and then released him.
"Where is your God, now?"
Another Maan report says a Gaza family was attacked Monday after refusing to allow Hamas terrorists to paint pro-Hamas slogans on the walls of their home. Several hours following the refusal, the house was attacked, with two grenades thrown at the building. The house was damaged, but none of the residents were hurt.

Judea and Samaria Arabs Stock up on Arms

The price of weapons in Judea, Samaria and Gaza has continued to soar amidst fears of a new breakout of clashes between rival terrorists, Reuters reports. The price of an M-16 semi-automatic rifle has risen to approximately $11,000 in Hevron, double the price of two years ago.

In Jenin, a single bullet for an AK-47 assault rifle currently costs almost $9, whereas the price in Gaza is less than $1.50 a bullet.

Israeli-Arab Who Transported Terrorist Facing Justice

The Haifa district court is expected to reach a verdict on Wednesday in the case of Fikri Mansour, an Israel Arab from the northern town of Jat, who is accused of transporting a suicide bomber in 2005. Mansour allegedly brought the bomber to the Hadera market, where he murdered six people and wounded dozens more. Mansour has been charged with six counts of being an accomplice to murder, dozens of counts of assisting in an attempted murder, being an accomplice to an attack causing injury, aiding the enemy in a time of war, and illegal transport.

#14  Let's send these fools 7.62X39 in enough quantity to meet all their needs, at ten bucks a shot,
Free at no extra charge every 15 rounds(or so, make it random)is loaded with TNT, (Claim we're low on powder supplies)

Should solve several problrms at once.
1, Make them so broke future purchases are not posible.
2. Eliminate the shooters as they hit that TNT load.
3. Teach them that we can also lie, and kill.
4. Help their gene pool by weeding out the violent and stupid.
5. More I'm sure, but I can't think of them right now.

#13  So I guess a camel can only carry 4,000 or so rounds for the 5 week walk from Pakiland to Gaza. Overhead charges and thugs along the way cut into the profits, so ammo could reach $86 a barrel by Friday. Is there a futures market in ammo ?

[knock knock]

"Who's there?"

"Gaza Home Vandalization Service"

"Umm ... no thanks, not today."

"Free second color."

"I'll have to talk it over with the wife."

"No charge for touch-ups."

"I really don't think so."

"Hokay, we'll send over our landscaping salesman in a few hours."

"What?"

"He'll rearrange your front yard for free."

"Well, all right, I suppose."

"You'll get a bang out of it, I'm sure."

"Wha ...?"

"Goodbye for now."

Verily and lo, the menfolk of Jenin were without gunsex and a great unhappiness befell them in their unwonted quietude.

Well, he must be hopping mad about that...

#9  I'm pretty sure that the majority of Sunni muslims who accepts the Madhi theology think that the Madhi is suppose to appear in Mecca.

#8  ...the man continued to insist that he was the Mahdi...

I think I have it figured out. The iman thought he was saying he was the mahdi, but he was really saying he was the reincarnation of Bea Arthur. He was saying, "here comes, Maude. Here comes Maude".

#5  Let me guess; There's not a single Muslim country where bullets are manufactured. Is that possible ?

#4  Well, those Hamas cops better hope he isn't the real deal, or the Mahdi will be back to kick some serious ass once his limp heals up...
