Jamel al-Jamal’s Not So Happy Ending

Remember Jamel al-Jamal, the palestinian “ambassador” in Prague who went kaboom after he opened a safe?
Czech authorities have now answered the question “Was that an explosive in his hand or was he happy to see you?”
Clue: He was not happy to see anyone.
Jamel al-Jamal actually looking happy to see you
The Palestinian ambassador to Prague who died in a blast at his residence on New Year’s Day was holding the explosive in his hand when it went off, a police spokeswoman said Monday.
“An experimental blast carried out by experts confirms this theory,” Andrea Zoulova said, denying earlier reports that the blast was caused by a booby-trapped safe.
Jamal al-Jamal, 56, died in hospital on Jan. 1, only three months after taking up his post, following an explosion that occurred soon after he opened a safe.
“The explosive was not placed on the door or inside the safe and was not there to protect the safe,” Zoulova said, adding that the investigation was ongoing.
After the incident, Czech police found 12 firearms at the Palestinian embassy in Prague, including submachine guns and sidearms that were not officially registered in the Czech Republic.
Local media said the weapons were produced in the former Czechoslovakia and supplied to the PLO before communism fell in Czechoslovakia in 1989.
Palestinian diplomats later apologized for hiding the illegal weapons at the embassy.
Again, I’m shocked at these findings.
