Today’s Terror Darwin Award Candidate

He turned out to be quite bashiti terrorist.

An underground tunnel collapsed early Wednesday near Egypt’s border with the Gaza strip, burying alive one smuggler and injuring another, a security official said.

Palestinian smuggler Mohammed el-Bashiti and five others had nearly finished expanding the 600 meter tunnel from Gaza into Egypt located 10 meters beneath the ground, when the ceiling gave way, said the official.

According to the official, who spoke on customary condition of anonymity, el-Bashiti precipitated the collapse of the tunnel’s sandy ceiling when he pushed a pole through to the surface in effort to show his accomplices where the tunnel ended.

Oops.
