"Three different versions of "suicide attack" in israel contradict each other"
"Today, some poor Palestinian allegedly "blew himself up" in israel, "killing three israelis" and giving israel one more reason to bomb the shit out of Gaza.
Supposedly, he and his comrade, who was killed by israelis "before he could explode himself" crossed over from Gaza to Dimona - israel's 'Disney world for nukes'.
Only problem is - so far, I've seen three different versions of who's responsible for "the attack" and not one of them sounds credible.
- From ADN Kronos International:Police officials said a suicide bomber targeted a busy shopping centre in the town in the Negev desert and blew himself up on Monday morning.
But they said there appeared to be two attackers, although only one managed to detonate his explosives belt.
A second bomber did not detonate his explosives belt and was subsequently killed by a police officer.
Palestinian sources claim the bombers Raji al-Kilani and Iman al-Haydan entered Israel from the Gaza Strip.
Several militant factions have claimed responsibility for the attack and according to a spokesman of the al-Qassam Brigades "The attack is a response to the massacres perpetrated by Israel in Gaza," reported Palestinian news agency Maan.
The militant group Islamic Jihad praised the attack and called it a blow against "Israeli occupation".
Hamas spokesman Ayman Taha said the attack was justified, and that "It shows the Palestinians can respond to the enemy and their crimes," reported Israeli daily Haaretz.
- From AP at 8:23am: Palestinian militants say two suicide bombers who entered a southern Israeli town today came in through Egypt after Gaza militants blew up Egypt's border wall with the territory last month.
1 of the attackers killed an Israeli woman. The other attacker was shot dead before he could detonate his explosives.
Israeli officials have feared the possibility of bombers from Gaza entering through Egypt since the border wall was breached.
[what a coincidence, they're worst fear came true]
Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians moved freely between Gaza and Egypt's Sinai desert. Egypt managed to reseal the border yesterday.
The Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade first claimed today's bombers came from the West Bank, but now says that statement was a diversionary tactic. They say they didn't know initially if the second bomber was still alive and wanted to confuse Israelis. Once they confirmed the second bomber was dead, they said he was from Gaza.
- From AP at 5:37am ET: "We heard a large explosion and people started to run. I saw pieces of flesh flying in the air," a witness identified only by her first name, Revital, told Army Radio.
The Haaretz daily reported that the second attacker was shot dead before he could explode himself.
Southern Israel has been on alert against militant attacks since the Gaza Strip's Islamic Hamas rulers breached the border with Egypt on Jan. 23. Egypt managed to reseal the border only on Sunday.
The breach made Israel's Negev desert, where Dimona is located, more vulnerable to penetration by Palestinian militants who could enter through Egypt's Sinai desert. Dimona is about 40 miles northeast of the porous Egyptian border. Last week, Israel closed a number of popular hiking areas in the south for fear of militant attacks.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for Monday's attack.
In Gaza, Hamas spokesman Ayman Taha said he did not know whether his group was involved but that the attack was justified. He also rejected suggestions that the bombing would hurt Hamas' chances of reopening the border with Egypt.
So, let me get this straight - at first, no one claimed responsibility for the attack, then three different groups clamored to claim rights to this 'glorious operation.'
One of the groups then initially claimed that the attackers were from the West Bank "as a diversionary tactic" but then retracted that and admitted that he was from Gaza, ONLY after they were sure that he was dead (so, he couldn't deny it).
Perfect sense. Not.
Clearly, this "operation" was planned and executed by israelis in an attempt to demonstrate that any breach in Gaza's border subjects them to deadly attacks from the "hordes of Arab suicide bombers" that the wall holds back.
Moreover, it gives israelis a cart blanche to kill as many Palestinians as they please in Gaza.
Finally, I challenge anyone to present a bona fide image from a bona fide UNBIASED news source of any of the so-called israelis that were killed today in the "suicide attack."
As usual, israelis are lying.
Indeed, another score for zionists."Yeah, as I have often remarked, CUI BONO?
