2009-08-16 | |
[Jerusalem Post Front Page] Twenty Syrians were killed and over 60 injured in a failed Scud missile test carried out by Syria, Iran and North Korea in May, Japan's Kyodo News reported on Friday. One of two missiles had apparently strayed off its course due to a technical malfunction, landing in a civilian populated area in a town on the Syrian-Turkish border. The victims were all civilians.

#11 Oh to be a fly on the wall (who could understand the language of Syria) when the locals are discussing how a gas leak could fall on them from above. I suspect that the NKor food rationing may lead to lack of brain development in their engineers. |

#4 would've been interesting if it made it to Turkey and killed civilians. Would they have blamed the PKK? Marsh gas? Jooos? |

#3 test a new short-range ballistic missile Figuring on the engineering expertise exhibited by these three, this seemed to be a fairer rendering of an explanation. |
