Gaza Zoo wired with explosives?

[Guest guest]

[Note: I have passed this post as it is fills our criteria in that it is about a

zoo which is, technically, just in Asia. But I don't think AAPN should get

involved in any debate on Gaza at this time. It is hard to verify facts during a

state of war.

IDF forces operating in Gaza on Sunday uncovered an explosive device

rigged with a timer that was placed in a Palestinian school. A fuse attached

to the bomb extended to a zoo located dozens of meters away.

 

 

 

The soldiers managed to neutralize the bomb before it was set off. Numerous

weapons, including RPG launchers, grenades and Kalashnikov assault rifles

were found inside the school.

 

 

 

At least 27 Palestinians were

killed<http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3654368,00.html>and

some 90 more were injured during IDF attacks throughout Gaza on

Sunday,

thus bringing the Palestinian death toll since the launching of Operation

Cast Lead 16 days ago to 890. Some 3,500 Gazans have been inured in the

offensive so far.

 

 

 

The Israeli military said forces attacked some 60 targets on Sunday,

including a mosque in Rafah that served as a training facility and a

warehouse for improved anti-tank missiles.
