A new method of smuggling weapons
2004-10-03
Link goes to Free Republic post...story is apparently from Maarev Hebrew edition and translated by Freeper...
The IDF and the Shabak (Shin Bet) have foiled numerous attempts by terrorists in the Gaza strip to smuggle hand grenades inside the behinds of sheep.
I'm not touching this one. Insert your own baaaaad sheep joke here.
The new method was foiled about a month ago after the arrest in the Kahn Younis area of a Arab cell identified with the "Abu Rish" faction of the Tanzim terrorist group. The Arabs tried to smuggle through the Mousai road in the southern Gaza Strip hand grenades inside four sheep belonging to them. In the last few days Abrihim Drajam, one of the members of the cell, has been charged with a crime.
Cruelty to hand grenades?
Draj'am is accused of exploiting the permit given to him by the IDF in order to smuggle weapons in the Gaza strip. During the month of July, Drajam tried to smuggle through the pass he worked at eight hand grenades in the behinds of live sheep that were passing at the passageway. The hand grenades were to be used to commit terror attacks against soldiers who were stationed at the place.
The arrest of Drajam occured when he was on the way to meeting another terrorist who he was supposed to train in on how to insert the grenades into the sheeps behinds.
In his investigation Drajam said he was to receive the sheep with the grenades in their behinds, and then he was to remove the grenades and hide them in his house. The arrest of Drajam occured when he was on the way to meeting another terrorist who he was supposed to train in on how to insert the grenades into the sheeps behinds. Two of his friends were also arrested. From an investigation it was found that Drajam was also in contact with other smugglers who used to smuggle through the Tabuah checkpoint explosive devices inside milk kettles. In the beginning six hand grenades were found inside a milk kettle, and even this smuggling operation Draj'am knew about it. The IDF says this is the first time they have witnessed an attempt to smuggle explosive materials inside live animals. The IDF worries that terrorist groups have managed, using the same tactic, to smuggle into Gaza and outside of it many arms.

#12  Shlomo: "Hey, Ahmed, Halt!"

Ahmed: "Why, what's ah problem?"

Shlomo: "Your sheep walk funny."

Ahmed: "They're pregnant, sarge."

Shlomo: "Pregnant, huh? Well let me take a look, I am a veterenarian."

Shlomo pats sheep on tummy, looks over behind and mumbles under his breath: "Why the heck the cunt looks normal but the anus is red and swollen...?"
Checks another sheep and there is a part of a plastic bag protruding from its anus. Shlomo pulls and one by one, hand grenades are coming out.

Shlomo: "Looky here, Ahmed, 8 babies came out. This sheep is not pregnant anymore. Say, Ahmed, what if I throw one of the babies in your direction? Or ... would you rather go to jail for smuggling illegal aliens?"

#11  Maybe the pulling cords hanging out from the fantail gave away the scheme.

#9  IDF has UAV's everywhere. The Paleo's can't take a crap without the drones picking it up.
