IDF uncovers bomb lab in Nablus
An explosives lab has been uncovered in Nablus by the IDF in the early hours of Tuesday morning, and security forces neutralized bombs through controlled explosions. There were no injuries.

The army uncovered the lab in an abandoned building after acting on intelligence. Captain Assaf Kavra described the IDF's operation: "We entered Nablus and scanned the area, capturing weapons and making arrests. Tonight we uncovered a weapons lab in the Kasbah in Nablus which contained 40- 50 kilograms (88-110 pounds) of explosives and equipment to prepare explosives devices."

In another home, IDF forces found eight magazine clips and a helmet.

First, in assuming there's an *official* definition of terrorism, and second for claiming that an 'explosives lab'is terrorism....

There are many definitions of terrorism, who ever stated otherwise? And the situations I stated in the previous post meet any numbers of the definitions. And you're also wrong that I assume an "official" definition of the word. You don't know what I assume.

Gee, I wonder what an explosives lab is for these days?
:sarcasm:

10. No, I'm right. You did say there was an official definition...
I believe the official term for this is "terrorism"

Will you be needing me to explain why an 'explosives lab' isn't terrorism?

12. You're wrong. I didn't write there was an official definition
My post stated: "And you're also wrong that I assume an "official" definition of the word."

You're also incorrect to assume I'd be needing you to explain things for me.

14. Abbas a few months back mentioned he wasn't going after
Edited on Mon Feb-27-06 03:03 PM by barb162
this kind of stuff; he said it was Israel's problem. Personally, I wish Abbas would do it(would have done it).

16. I think you're right; each side should take care of its own
people looking to make trouble against the other people.

17. The Pizza Parlor occupiers,
even the 3-year old children amonng them, are an occupying force and therefore obviously can be fought, maimed and killed by any means and this struggle CANNOT be considered 'terrorism'. Because.....well, it just shouldn't, thats all! Isn't it obvious since there is no single accepted definition of 'terrorism'?
