#2 "By mistake, a live missile was substituted, and the five were killed."
And if a dummy missile were used, only the guy playing Saddam would of died?

#7 I don't think the story can be true as reported. Muslim funerals are supposed to take place within a day of the the person's death, and that's not enough notice to arrange an event like this. It's possible that the event that the Israelis were expecting him to attend was a memorial service or something else where you'd have plenty of advance notice, but I don't think this would work for a funeral.
