They targeted one Samir Kuntar (or Qantar), a "moderate anti-imperialist secularist" who lead the 1979 Nahariya attack, where he smashed open a 4 year old girl's head with a rifle butt before being captured. Since his release in 2008 in a prisoner swap deal, he's been involved in further terrorist attacks against Israel and apparently has been running a death squad for the Syrian government. http://web.archive.org/web/20080724121602/http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/jul/19/lebanon.israelandthepalestinians The "six to eight" other people killed were apparently mainly Hezbollah field commanders.

The selling point always seems to be either for defeating body armor by striking (near) the same place multiple times and/or trying to make a shotgun as accurate as a rifle so that you can increase "kill probability" by putting more lead in the air so that the target is more likely to be hit or to take a vital hit.

Well sometimes a European arms company has to do some deals where they only break even so that they can say "well not ALL of our sales go to the death squads of General Bloodmurder al-Badguy, President-for-Life of Oilistan."

cm_kruger replied to LostCosmonaut's topic in Fiction & Entertainment
Ralph Peters? So did he flipflop and release a book six months later claiming the USSR would be totally crushed, followed by another one six months after that returning to the original position? -
Yeah that's about what I expected. "Russia could never ever ever ever fuck up! It's was a false flag!!" and a story from a Syrian propaganda outlet.
