Knock me over with a feather. No, knock me over with a nano. The AP is running a story about the IDF successfully preventing a suicide bombing — and actually calling it a suicide attack.
JERUSALEM May 29, 2006 (AP)— Israeli soldiers, acting on intelligence reports, prevented two Palestinian militants on Monday from carrying out a suicide bombing inside Israel, the military said. The militants were spotted carrying a suspicious bag near the West Bank city of Nablus and tried to flee, said Lt. Col. Arik Chen, a battalion commander in the Nablus region.
They threw away the bag, then led troops on a three-hour foot chase, until they were cornered and gave themselves up, he said. The men surrendered only after troops fired in the air.
Inside the bag, soldiers found a bomb weighing 15 pounds, packed with nails and pieces of small metal, which heighten the deadly effect, Chen said. Sappers later blew it up.
Go buy a lottery ticket today, folks, the world is upside down.
I have a simple prayer when it comes to the AP: “May every AP employee who peddles this crap suffer and die luke a gutshot pig. Except for Gwiz. He was cool.”
