Supposedly the bomb was on his chest, but it doesn't look like there's anything holding his chest up while he's just lying on the ground. Which doesn't mean there wasn't.
      I had a long post when IE decided to crash

      Well, we don't have any photos of him alive and without contact with the bomb, so I assume he was killed before he left contact, especially during it's removal.

      To think otherwise would be illogical, since in all previous cases, IDF never assassinated the terrorists and instead arrested them and interrogated them and then tried them.

        Eh??

        What kind of a trial involves firing missiles from helicopters, I wonder?

        Ah well! I guess that's different, since in those cases, the terrorist is never in IDF custody and I understand there is some sort of a trial or court order involved...

        What you're saying is that we've never seen them kill their prisoners after disarming them, which I suppose is true enough.

          Well, there was this one case, which was uncovered in 1984 or so....

          It was a huge scandalous thing. An investigation comitte was formed and people were tried.

          The commander of the GSS team who did this, was sentanced to some 20+ years, but in a controversial move, was parolled by the President, for his service to the country so far. Immediatelly the Attorney General resigned in protest.

          To this day, the former commander is disallowed from working in any post dealing with security, and recently Supreme Justice Court ruled he cant' serve as a special advisor on anti-terror strategy either.

          The GSS chief who ordered the execution was sacked... I don't think he got time, but I don't really know.

                          And More Objective.... Mind you having watched an Interviewer called Shepherd on Fox News, Distance does not always breed rational objectivity...

                          Here I am privelidged to see some 50 News Channels, and unfortunately many breed hatred by biased reporting either one way or the other....

                          The biggest issue seems to be that both sides see themeselves as reactionary rather than po-actionary, and such cyclical Violence breeds absolute self belief in both sides being right, and thus every peace attempt so far has been consigned to History... Bravery under these circumstances is the side who says enough, lets talk... But it seems those words will be drowned by the screams of the dead and dying, by the grief of mothers and sons, by the cries of nations for 'Justice'.

                          • All too true!

                            Like those people in the funeral, crying for "Death to Israel!"

                            Both sides claim to want peace, and yet people on both sides keep crying for more blood, more death, more funerals!

                            -And we're supposed to just accept that and still think of them as nice and decent, innocent people, 'cause it is the other side that's keeping it all going!

                            Well, I'm not buying into that.
                            The expression might seem somewhat out of place in this context, but... well, it takes two to tango!
