| Teen Bomber Blows Himself Up |
| 2004-01-12 |
| EFL Before dawn yesterday, 17-year-old Iyad al-Masri strapped on a belt filed with explosives and left Nablus - intent on carrying out an attack on Israelis. Hours later, his belt malfunctioned and exploded, killing him. No raisins for you Iyad! It was too much to bear for Al-Masri’s mother, Abir, who lost another son just eight days ago when Israeli forces shot and killed Al-Masri’s 15-year-old brother, Amjad. The army said he was dropping cinder blocks on troops from the roof of his Nablus house, but witnesses said he was just watching the soldiers pass by. Shouldn’t do that. That will get you shot! |

| #12 Electrical blasting caps are highly susceptible to rf - induces current. Non-electrical blasting caps are less (note not 'not') susceptible, but are better (at least Mike Two-Fingers says so). Anyway, a little stray rf is also a great way to warm up in cold weather. There are other drawbacks, but I can't remember what they are. |

| #11 Abir got anymore little darlings in her brood? Does she still rate her house getting leveled even though her kid was a fuckup? |

| #8 I agree, the number of boomer "malfunctions" taking place in uninhabited areas is kinda suspicious. But remember: Never conjure conspiracies where simple stupidity is explanation enough. |

| #6 Jon -- don't know if it's really possible, but if I were the IDF I'd certainly be putting out press releases that said it was... |

| #5 any thoughts on this,and i know it sounds crazy but could a device emitiing say infared or micro waves be set that would cause these fuckers explosives to detonate prematurly.I know it sounds kinda crazy but some of the cleverist guys in the world work for Israel.Damn sorry just read what Gasse Katze said and i'm repeating him,seriously thats spooky but shows great minds think alike eh.wow weird but good eh. |

| #4 Too bad it didn't go off at his house and take out the bomb factory with a mustache, his mom. |

| #3 Get the right RF for some of their detonator devices, then fly a Prophet/AQF bird blasting that at 100KW over the paleo 'hoods, and watch the explosions bloom... |

| #2 Maybe his hormones got the best of him and he detonated before he could 'appraise' a Jewish babe. |

| #1 Hmmmm. Second such incident in two days. I wonder what's causing the premature detonations. Maybe they're getting some help. Radio transmissions will sometimes set off blasting caps. |
