Militants carry out grenade attack in Mandera
2014-03-08
Mandera -- Terrorists Militants who throw like Nancy girls on Thursday hurled a rocket propelled grenade (RPG) in Mandera, but caused no injury, a police officer said.

Mandera County Police Commander Noah Mwivanda said the RPG launched in the southern part of the border at 2 a.m. local time was targeting the border post. He said the RPG 7 which is normally hurled by a bazooka failed to meet its target because it was overcharged.

"We highly suspect that the RPG was highly charged and that is why when they hurled it overflew and as a result landed in the neighboring Bula Geneva," the police commander said.
They missed an entire county?? Have they got some Gazans on loan?
Mwivanda said that after the terrorists militants hurled the device, they proceeded to fire gunshots. He however said that nobody was injured in the incident.

According to a local, the ten terrorists militants started arguing immediately after missing their target, accusing each other of not hitting the target.
"You throw like a girl!"
"Do not!"
"Do too! And your sister has a better mustache!"
"Why you infidel, I'll show you!" [whoosh!]
"We heard them accuse each other and argue loudly in the local dialect. There after they disappeared on foot," said the man.

The police commander said that security had been enhanced at the border point with more security personnel deployed in the area to beef up security.

"Thank God that these terrorists' evil mission was not accomplished. This is however a wake up call for us that we should not rest our laurels even for a minute because that is when they hit us," said Mwivanda.

Like an episode of The Three Stooges, but with RPGs.

A hand launched RPG? Actually I'm impressed. The overflew part is worrisome... did they throw it with the rocket motor lit? Now I'd be even more impressed....
