Those Wonderful Palestinians

From The Corner :

"More interesting is this article from the Egyptian newspaper Al-Ahram (hardly known as an Israeli mouthpiece). In an interview with a bomb-maker from Jenin, we learn that it was the Palestinians who basically were responsible for blowing up most of the buildings and for destroying the primary water-main. "We cut off lengths of mains water pipes and packed them with explosives and nails," he explains. "Then we placed them about four metres apart throughout the houses -- in cupboards, under sinks, in sofas." He continues, "We had more than 50 houses booby-trapped around the camp. We chose old and empty buildings and the houses of men who were wanted by Israel because we knew the soldiers would search for them," he said. The ambush of the 13 Israeli soldiers was achieved by sending women out to surrender and say that the men were out of ammunition."
