Two Palestinian bombers attempted a mass killing in Israel today; one detonated his bomb, killing at least 1 woman and wounding 38 others. The second was wounded before he could trigger his device. He tried to set the bomb off with medics and anyone else nearby. An Israeli police officer ends the ordeal.
Moshe Malak knelt down and opened the injured man’s coat. It was then that he saw the unexploded suicide belt.
“All my life passed in a few seconds,” Mr Malak said.
“I knew he could explode at any time. I knew he could push the button at anytime. I shouted at everyone to clear away.”
Earlier, the 36-year-old lawyer had been sitting in his office when he heard a large explosion from the city’s shopping centre.
A Palestinian suicide bomber had detonated his explosives, killing one Israeli civilian and injuring several others.
Rushing to the scene, Mr Malak saw one man lying motionless with blood trickling from behind his ear.
It was a second suicide bomber who had apparently been injured in the initial blast and had then failed to detonate his explosives.

This is being played heavy on Arabic Al Jazeera saying the Israelis murdered an unarmed man preventing him from getting aid.

Of course it will be reported that it was Israel’s fault.

Good for that policeman. EOD.
Nineball on February 4, 2008 at 4:58 PM
When will the world realize that these vermin will never stop their desire to kill all that is goof and wholesome.
I am thankful that they stopped this pig before he could kill more.
bbz123 on February 4, 2008 at 4:59 PM
Thankfully the Israeli police had the common sense to put down the threat.
Tim on February 4, 2008 at 4:59 PM
What about the poor, second bomber’s civil rights? /s

Only 5 shots to the head of that PIG……..?
I’d say that was conservative action….

This is why Hamas bulldozed the fense in Gaza. There will be more bombings.

Dimona signals Palestinian defiance
By Lamis Andoni
Moral judgments not withstanding, the suicide bombing in Dimona on Monday is another chink in the siege imposed on all Palestinians in the occupied territories and it represents a continuity of the Palestinian rebellion that breached the wall between Gaza and Egypt last week.
The fact that two fighters succeeded in reaching Dimona in the south of Israel after crossing over to Egypt last week and then returning to conduct the operation is a blow to Tel Aviv’s claims that its siege of Hamas supporters is working.

No Miranda, no trial, no Barbra Streisand.
Wade on February 4, 2008 at 5:03 PM
These bombers came from Gaza, probably with supplies smuggled over from Egypt during the recent “open border” fiasco. You know these weren’t the only supplies brought into Gaza. Hamas didn’t tear down the border just to supply two suicide bombers. These were just the first, probably the first of many.
The question is, with Gaza awash in weapons and explosives and with would-be martyrs eager to explode Jews and get their 72 virgins, what is Hamas waiting for?

Since when does being strapped with an explosive belt equal “unarmed”?

The 2nd bomber was heard saying “I’d rather be water boarded”
Wade on February 4, 2008 at 5:08 PM
They are fighting with Fatah right now. If they waste their resources on the israelies makes them weaker in that battle.
William Amos on February 4, 2008 at 5:09 PM
Are you serious? That’s disgusting.
But par the course for Terrorist TV.
madne0 on February 4, 2008 at 5:09 PM
The Islamists had 11 days to bring in fresh explosives and supplies from Egypt. I fear there will be more of this in the weeks to come.
The goddamn BBC produced a story with the headline ‘rare suicide attack’ earlier, as if this was something that almost never happens, but have thankfully altered this now. I’ve posted elsewhere about the links between the BBC (which our public broadcasters buy material from) and al-Jazeera.
Pax americana on February 4, 2008 at 5:10 PM
Boom! Headshot!
Looks like it could’ve been much worse had the second terrorist detonated his bomb- well done, Israeli police.
And FU, Al Jazeera. “Fighters” don’t stroll into a crowd of civilians with the intent of killing as many as possible. Psycopathic terrorists do.
Hollowpoint on February 4, 2008 at 5:15 PM
Head shots have a certain finality about them. The irony of medics or civilians trying to help a terrorist as he’s trying to blow them up is striking. Civilization vs barbarian.
a capella on February 4, 2008 at 5:16 PM
Does he still get his 72 virgins?
Larry L. Sharp on February 4, 2008 at 5:17 PM
I don’t know, but that wasn’t the last thing to go through the second terrorist’s mind…
Hollowpoint on February 4, 2008 at 5:21 PM
Yes, all men. :)
tickleddragon on February 4, 2008 at 5:24 PM
I hope he felt every round….
Big Daddy Cool on February 4, 2008 at 5:24 PM
Does that mean he lost his head over 72 virgins?
Larry L. Sharp on February 4, 2008 at 5:24 PM
We need to try to understand them better.
Labamigo on February 4, 2008 at 5:25 PM
Good shooting.
Not to mention gutsy. Who knows, a twitch, an errant round, and that vest goes up… the cop must have been very close to the vest’s kill zone - even if it would have been lessened by the bomber’s supine position.
At least he went by himself instead of taking innocents with him.

Nice. Too bad we can’t do that here, that cop would’ve been demonized by the Lefties for sure.
pecan pie on February 4, 2008 at 5:33 PM
That’s one brave policeman. He was well within the blast radius when he put that dog out of his misery. We need more like him in Berkeley.

And the stupid Muslims think it is a big successful attack.
I believe some rat bag Muslim leader of some rat bag Muslim organization has been homogenized with his aides in a flash of light you could mistake for Allah.
Seems Israel has it’s targets already registered for their response to such attacks.
BL@KBIRD on February 4, 2008 at 6:15 PM
I’m curious how our own MSM here in the states will play this — if at all.
You know they won’t play it unless they can blame Israel or Bush.
CrazyFool on February 4, 2008 at 6:15 PM
It seems it would be useful to point out to young muslim men that the god doesn’t miraculously protect one bomber from another bomber’s blast. One could urge them to consider whether this is a sign of the god’s indifference, incapacity, or both.

Of course, Islam is the religion of perpetual victimhood, it’s the main thing the Islamo-fascists and the lef-tards have in common, being perpetual victims of every imagined boogey man there is, and according to the lef-tards if you refuse to believe you’re a victim you’re just suffering from PTSD from being victimized and are thus victimized again!
Heh, kind of goes along with the McCain Terminator post…”Listen. And understand. Fascist Islam is out there. It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.”
Unfortunately it seems it may be too late for England to wake up to the truth about fascist Islam and if America doesn’t wake up and shed the chains of political correctness soon it may be too late for us as well…on the bright side it does give me comfort and strength when I visit HotAir as it’s nice to know there are some out there that are awake to and are facing the reality of fascist Islam, it helps to know I’m not entirely alone, althoug it sure feels that way sometimes!

Can we get a “report commentor for rank anti-semitism and making excuses for mass-murdering spree killers” button?
The people blind with hatred here are the “fighters” who try to murder Israelis every day - the same Israelis that provide them with power, fuel, and free medical care.
You’re either a troll or just a really, really bad human being, KMC. Not up to moral spec, as they say. Dropped on the head one too many times.
Bryan, did you see this one? Is there a limit here?

KMC1 often posts on Spencer’s Quran Blogging threads, doing his best to equate Islam and all other religions - often with a heavy hand against Judaism, using the same ignorant and false refutations posted on the usual list of hate and supremist sites. When confronted with the fact that no one ever understood the verse the way he cuts/pastes/claims, he falls back on “but I was just asking”.
There’s no reason why he can’t be both a troll and a really bad human being. The dropped-on-head is optional. Draw your own conclusions.

Ok, Rosie O’Donnell. That terrorist deserved a lot worse death than what he got. Bullets are too merciful.
Livefreeordie on February 4, 2008 at 11:36 PM
You talk about disgusting, what’s disgusting is your typical lefty moral equivalence, that’s what’s truly disgusting on this thread!
What’s wrong KMC, is the truth that difficult to see through your thick anti-Semitic glasses? Seriously, most of what I have read here only calls it like it is, no sugar coated PC BS, the Islamo fascist that was put down got what he deserved, no more and no less. What was the Israeli officer to do, allow him to detonate his explosives vest to take out more innocent women and children guilty of going shopping?
Of course you probably view those innocent women and children as guilty because they are Jews and are thereby complicit in the oppression of the poor “Palestinian People!” If I were you I would do some honest research because if you did it would become clear to you there is no such thing as a special “Palestinian” race of people, they are Arabs that happen to live in Palestine, nothing more and nothing less.
And as for the “Palestinian People” being “oppressed” and “occupied” by the evil Zionists this too is a falsehood that gullible, misinformed, and frankly uneducated and ignorant fools like you have been brain-washed to believe.
Again, do some honest research like how several Arab nations attacked Israel after it became it’s own state, e.g., the 1948, 1967, and 1973 wars. The bottom line is there never was a Palestinian state or people and the lands the Israeli’s “stole” was land given to the Jews by the British (The Palestinian Mandate) after the fall of the Ottoman Empire. Also, any additional land the Israeli’s have beyond the Palestinian Mandate was seized after the previous mentioned wars, wars which the Israeli’s did not want or instigate. In other words, if the Arabs didn’t want to lose land to the Israeli’s then maybe they should think twice before attacking its neighbor unprovoked!
So KMC, if you’re so inclined to learn more about the facts and truth and less of the propaganda you’ve been brain-washed to believe, below is a link to help you de-program from the propaganda you’ve been fed, but my bet is you’ll just continue to live in your anti-somatic/PC/BS fantasy world then ever admit you’re wrong and it is the Islamo-fascist that are evil enemies of freedom, not the Jews…damn it’s too bad being as ignorant as you isn’t painful because it really should be!

Good shot. At least they did what needed to be done before more got hurt.
Bladerunner1701 on February 5, 2008 at 1:29 AM
John McCain was spotted rushing to the scene to try to Mirandize the second bomber and get him a lawyer, while promising, over a bullhorn, to close Gitmo.
Luckily the Israeli cop got there first.
profitsbeard on February 5, 2008 at 2:01 AM
Oh, I’ve got a solid handle on the why. There’s nothing unknown about it and my absolute servitude is to humanity, a group these scumbags have no membership in.
But while we’re discussing motivation, are you suggesting that there somehow is a proper motivation for blowing yourself up while killing as many innocent people as possible? If so, we’ve tracked down the disgusting in all of this and you’re soaking in it.
