an excerpt:
"Mofaz said the navy, 500 km (300 miles) from home, seized Katyusha
rockets with range up to 20 km (12 miles), assault rifles, anti-tank
missiles, ***mines***, ammunition and explosives.
Mofaz said most of the weapons were Iranian and were to have been
smuggled into territory under Palestinian control."

Hey, Samantha, why don't you organize a non-violent protest against the
PLO and Iran for violating the mine ban treaty? Must just be those
American mines that are so evil.
