Hizbullah Eulogizes Fighter
2007-12-17
Hizbullah announced on Sunday that it has lost one of its fighters in action the day before. A short Hizbullah statement identified the "martyr" as Mahdi Mohammed Abbas. The statement said he tripped and fell on Saturday while "carrying out his Jihad duty" on Saturday. It did not disclose further details. No clashes were reported on Saturday, which indicates that Abbas may have tripped and fallen in a training camp operated by Hizbullah.

#3  fromthe (0506 issue): www.aeroclubsocal.org: the only eulogy of a fighter I am interested in:

The glamorous and famed USN F-14 Tomcat
(starred in Top Gun) will be flown into retirement in
September. Entering service in the early 1970s, the
Tomcat has been replaced on carriers by the F/A-18
Super Hornet. Boeing (McDonnell Douglas) and
Northrop Grumman were both identified with the
design, flight testing and constriction of the F-14. Both
companies are now producing the Super Hornets. In
years past, the Tomcat had an avid following of carirerbased
pilots who initially fought hard within the Navy
against their replacement by
F-18s. It was a serious internal Naval battle. .

#1  Maybe he was teaching Bomb-making 101 Lab in the Hizb training camp.
