Palestinian Ambassador to the Czech Republic Accidentally Blows Self Up With Illegal Explosives
Courtesy of The Algemeiner, "Czech Officials: Explosion From Illegal Palestinian Weapons Cache Possible Tip of the Iceberg of Europe Weapon Smuggling Ring," (Jan 5th 2014)
A weapons cache that exploded inside a locked safe at the site of the future Palestinian Authority embassy in Prague was entirely unregistered, and the illegal cache may be just the tip of the iceberg of a Europe-wide weapons smuggling ring, according to Czech officials.

According to available information, 70 firearms, unregistered by Czech authorities, were found in the future embassy building, in Prague 6-Suchdol, after an explosion killed Ambassador Jamel al-Jamal last week. According to initial reports, the explosive was from material inside an embassy safe, which was being stored at the ambassador’s residence.
The embassies of civilized nations do not generally serve as arms caches from which weapons and explosives may be distributed to persons in the host countries. Nor do their ambassadors generally count it among their normal diplomatic duties to shift around quantities of high explosives -- especially improperly secured quantities of high explosives. The death of Ambassador Jamel al-Jamal, of course, represents a marginal improvement in humanity's average excellence, but it should be borne in mind that real people were also hurt and frightened by the elimination of this thug from our gene and meme pools.
What this goes to show is that the Palestinian gang-bosses do not in fact become the legitimate government of a civilized nation just because we slap the sticker of approval upon them. The Czech Republic, and the European Union in general, is now paying for its naivete regarding the Palestinians. I hope that this acts as a wake-up call for them to expel the Palestinian diplomatic facilities and their personnel as persona non grata, but I fear that Europe will travel a far greater distance on the road of folly before they recognize their errors.
