#2 but a UN officer said it was an artillery shell fired by the IDF

As we all know, these guys are very observant. Probably the same team that missed the Israeli getting abducted 300m from their position. :-)

#3 Nice to observe the UN pisskeeper/observers earn their keeps on rare occasion when they simply couldn't turn tail fast enough as is their operational modus operandi. African troops, eh? They should be more concerned with their pay, probably at least quadruple regular pay at home....pointless to earn that much and be unable to spend it afterwards.

How much did/can they observe in a bunker anyway? Send the shell/rocket fragnemts for analysis before blathering claims.

#4 Unfortunately, this wasn't an RAB "crossfire," so the UN terrorist support network observers got away.

#6 Standard "accomplises/cohorts escaped" story. RAB should take a hint and look for blue helmets.

#8 I asked yesterday what Ghana gives the planet. Now I know. Chocolate, incompetent UN Secretary Generals, and ineffective UN observers.
