Accidental grenade explosion kills two Palestinians

GAZA CITY (AFP) - Two Palestinians were killed and another seven, including a baby, wounded when a grenade accidentally exploded in the southern Gaza Strip.

Family members were playing with a grenade in the town of Khan Yunis when it exploded, killing 23-year-old Qassem Massud and his one-year-old niece, medical and security sources said Wednesday.

All the casualties were members of the same family.

He's a 23 year old Palestinian living in Gaza? He was probably teaching his 1 year old niece how to use it.
 
i think darwins only get awarded when you kill just yourself. even though the neice was in the same family she was too young to know better.

Not to mention that one usually doesn't come into possession of a grenade without knowing it's a grenade (unless it's thrown at you). And yeah, 23-yo Palenstinian man in the Gaza...are you kidding me?

LOL WTF.
For some reason I don't feel sorry at all.
 
For some reason I just get this mental image of a Palestinian family playing hot potato...with a live grenade.

"Looks like Qassem lost that round! Who's up for one more game?"
