Work accident?
The 'Palestinian ambassador' to the Czech Republic died on Wednesday in an explosion at his residence. No one else was injured. Work accident?The Palestinian Foreign Ministry said ambassador Jamal al-Jamal had been trying to open a safe that was recently moved to his new home and a Czech government source told Reuters that the explosion was probably caused by a security device on the unit.The 'Palestinian Authority' is sending a 'delegation' to 'help' with the investigation. I'm sure they'll be very 'helpful.'
It was unclear what that was. Some safes can be fitted with mechanisms designed to destroy secret documents in the event of the lock being tampered with. The Czech source said the government did not believe it was a terrorist attack.
Czech police said the ambassador died of his injuries in hospital after the explosion on the morning of New Year's Day in the two-story suburban residence. No one else was injured, police said, although Jamal's family was at home at the time.
No signs of damage to the house was visible from the street.
"There has been a detonation of a so far unidentified explosive mixture," police spokeswoman Andrea Zoulova said. "The ambassador was ... taken to hospital with serious injuries."
If there's nothing more to this story than what's stated above, it sounds like he could be an early candidate for a Darwin Award.
