Tragic tunnel-digging accident:
Three Palestinians were killed Thursday in the collapse of a tunnel they were digging on the border between Rafah in southern Gaza and Egypt.
And what cost these young men, these heros of the Palestinian cause, their lives?
Palestinian security officials said the three smugglers didn’t realize that it was raining heavily.
Cause the wet stuff falling out of the sky and making the ground muddy wasn’t enough of a tip-off.
UPDATE: Apparently, there’s a precedent for this sort of thing (hat tip: Jeremy).
