Exploder causes no casualties
|
An explosion near an Israeli checkpoint close to the West Bank town of Bethlehem killed a suspected Palestinian suicide bomber. An Israeli army spokesman confirmed that an explosive device had gone off but reported no Israeli casualties. However, Faruq Amin a director of the District Coordination Offices (DCOs) between Palestinians and Israel, said that the Israeli-side had said by telephone that a Palestinian body had been found. The family of a young Palestinian man, Ihab Habeeb, claimed that the 24-year-old had carried out a suicide bomb attack at the checkpoint on the road to Jerusalem. Raed Habeeb said his brother had carried out a "martyr" attack and that the family was receiving visitors paying their respects. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the explosion.
"Hey, Achmed! I ain't too sure if this thing works. I'm gonna try it out a time or two, just to make sure!"The Palestinian's problem is that they don't have enough veteran suicide bombers.
