Video of terrorist hiding rocket-launcher in UN vehicle!
Sorry this is my first post, I couldn't find it anywhere else.
It was reported on foxnews so it's probably fake but the video
does show terrorists using a UN vehicle.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,134330,00.html
--------------------

JERUSALEM  — Israel's U.N. ambassador demanded Sunday that the
world body investigate the actions of its top official in Gaza
(search) after Israeli accusations that Gaza militants used a
U.N. vehicle to transport a homemade rocket. 

Ambassador Dan Gillerman said he was asking U.N.
Secretary-General Kofi Annan (search) to investigate Peter
Hansen, head of the U.N. Relief and Works Agency, after the
Israeli army released a video taken by an unmanned aircraft
flying over the Jebaliya refugee camp. UNRWA assists
Palestinian refugees in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

The video was released while the army launched a wide-scale
operation in Jebaliya and nearby towns in an attempt to halt
Palestinian rocket attacks on towns in Israel. Those rocket
attacks killed two Israeli preschoolers Wednesday.

5. You believe?
This is what you said in your original post:

2. It wasn't a rocket ( or a rocket launcher)...
...it was a stretcher.

4. It is my understanding
That the UN isn't involved in ambulance activities over there, but if they were it would make sense.

10. ROTFL
"I came back to the car with the stretcher, and I folded it and threw it inside the car," he said. "If it was a missile, I would not throw it into the car but would put it in carefully."

Edited on Sun Oct-03-04 07:31 PM by mike_c
...oppression he's a "terrorist?" IMO the IDF are the "terrorists" in this situation, but the term is not generally applied to oppressive occupation forces, but rather only to those who struggle against oppression.
