[Al Jazeera] At least two Paleostinians have died in an kaboom in Gazoo, which Paleostinian group Islamic Jihad...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
now says was caused by the men mishandling explosives.
Local news media identified the two people killed on Tuesday as members of al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of Islamic Jihad.
The News Agency that Dare Not be Named news agency quoted Islamic Jihad as saying that the kaboom was an accident.
Earlier in the day, the Paleostinian health ministry and local news media blamed the deaths on an Israeli air raid.
However,
a clean conscience makes a soft pillow...
a spokesperson for the Israeli army denied the reports, telling Al Jazeera it did not carry out any attack in the besieged Gazoo Strip on Tuesday.
The Israeli blockade of the occupied Gazoo Strip, in its current form, has been in place since June 2007.
Men indentified
The Paleostinian news agency WAFA said the two Paleostinian youths were killed on a cycle of violence near the town of Beit Lahya in the northern Gazoo Strip.
| Let this be a lesson to you: carrying bombs on motorized vehicles over bad roads is dangerous only to the carriers, and a waste of clearly good bombs. Next time walk the things to their destination. |
In a statement cited by AFP news agency later on Tuesday that made no mention of an Israeli attack, Islamic Jihad identified the dead men as Hussein Ghazi Nasrallah, 25, and Mustafa al-Sultan, 29, and said they were part of the group's engineering unit.
| Not actually youths, then. But as dumb as if they were. |
