I Hate To Break It To You..
Ma’an News reports:
Islamic Jihad guns down 2 Israeli soldiers
The military wing of Islamic Jihad in Palestine, the Al-Quds Brigades, took full responsibility today for the shooting of two Israeli soldiers at the Sraij gate east of Al Qarareh.
The Brigades added in a statement sent to Ma’an that this mission comes as part of the continuous response to the Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and to confirm the choice of struggle until Palestine is liberated.
I’m not sure who they gunned down, but it doesn’t look like it was two IDF soldiers, given that this has not been reported in the Israeli media (nor any other media for that matter).
Ahhhh…so that’s what happened to the two missing Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terrorists.

I’ve just finished reading a book called ‘Munich 1972: the bloody Olympics’, by a Russian journalist Leonid Mlechin. The book is extremely well researched, lots of interesting facts that aren’t widely known. Among other things, Mlechin writes that it had been Fatah’s standard PR tactic from day one of its existence to announce “successful attacks” against various Israeli targets that never happened in reality. Among other things, they once claimed to have destroyed Moshe Dayan’s personal garage, despite the fact that Dayan had neither a garage nor even a car at the time. Cheaper and less risky than a real terrorist attack, and PR benefits are just the same.
few random facts on the olympics:
nazi nuernberg laws were introduced in 1935.
berlin olympics were held in 1936.
israeli sportsmen were murdered at 1972. olympics in munich.
the games went on.
the president of the IOC Juan Antonio Samaranch NEVER attended a memorial for the murdered athletes, that are held during the olympics
jacques rogue was the first president of IOC, who did – in athens 2004. barely 200people attended, mostly israeli athletes.
