Yeah. Never heard of that before but then we didn't have suicide bombers in London before. It makes a certain amount of sense but leaves me a bit uneasy...the Isaelis are using this? I guess they've had plenty of experience with suicide bombers... Dana On 7/25/05, Greg Morphis <[EM

I think you shoot them in the head to kill instantly.. to prevent them from detonating the explosive device. A chest shot even though most likely WILL kill, they may have enough in them to detonate the device. On 7/25/05, William Bowen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > you shoot for the center of bod

Why does he have 80% of the culpability? Because he lived in an apartment complex that he didn't know was under surveillance? Because he wore a coat? Reports have now stated that he wore a coat because 70 degrees is cold for Brazil and he would have been cold out in that weather without a coat. B
