Two American women working as prison guards with the United Nations in Kosovo were killed Saturday and 10 other Americans and an Austrian working as prison officers were wounded when a Jordanian, also with the United Nations, opened fire on them, officials said. The attacker was shot and killed.

An Israeli missile strike killed Hamas leader Abdel Aziz Rantissi on Saturday in a strike on his car, hospital officials said. Rantisi’s son Mohammed and a bodyguard also were killed in the attack, the officials said.
I wonder if he was insured. Could that be the new Hamas fund raising technique? But Hamas has responded [source]:
A top Hamas political leader has said the group has the right to avenge in kind the assassination of its military wing leader, Abdel-Aziz al-Rantissi, in Gaza.
Uh, would that be before or after the revenge for Yassin? Will the IDF take out Rantissi’s replacement before Yassin or Rantissi is avenged? How could we tell?
