See if you can figure out how many people were killed in the red-on-red engagement described here. About the only thing we can be sure of is that Fatah scored five own-goals. So was the total tally 5, 7, 11, or 13?
Hamas Militants Kill 6 Fatah Bodyguards
(AP) Hamas gunmen killed five of their own combatants in an ambush Wednesday on a Fatah vehicle that had been carrying Hamas detainees, Fatah officials said.
Also killed were two members of the Fatah-affiliated Preventive Security force that had been guarding the detained Hamas members, the officials said.
Remember, these guys want their own state. But who's counting?
Posted by Chris at May 17, 2007 12:56 PMone of the "Fatah-affiliated Preventive Security force" was a female. So, by their male dominated society, the body count of is only 6. Of couse, if they want to continue killing themselves off, maybe we should give them nukes
Posted by: Pete at May 18, 2007 02:16 PMI missed the obvious pun in that name, because they surely Prevented Security that day!
Unfortunately, if we gave them nukes, they'd use one to pave Tel Aviv BEFORE they started popping them on each other...
