Gaza blast shakes Dahlan wedding
July 22nd, 2009 |
No Comments
An explosion in southern Gaza has torn through a party attended by relatives of the West Bank-based Fatah strongman Muhammad Dahlan, injuring 50 people.
The blast happened on Tuesday at a wedding reception in Khan Younis.
The groom, who is Mr Dahlan’s nephew, as well as women and children, were injured. The Hamas authorities said three suspects were in custody.
The device was reported to have been placed under a street stage erected so the wedding guests could dance.
Muhammad Dahlan is widely hated by the Hamas faction because of actions he took against it in his former role as head of Fatah’s powerful security force.
Mr Dahlan, a native of the Gaza Strip, left the Palestinian territory in June 2007, as pro-Hamas forces ousted the Fatah-dominated Palestinian Authority.
A spokesman for Hamas, Ihab al-Ghussein, said initial investigations suggested that the explosive device which caused the blast was what he called a "sound bomb".
Five of the guests were in a critical condition in hospital, Agence France Presse reported.</p

Bride’s bouquet brings down plane

Isidoro Pensieri threw bouquet from plane but flowers flew into engine causing an explosion and landing him in hospital
Of all wedding customs, the bouquet toss is arguably the most controversial. Described on marthastewart.com as the “suspenseful moment when the single women gather behind the bride – to see who will be the next to get married”, it is scarcely a favourite with feminists.
No one, though, has argued it could prompt life-threatening injuries. Until now.
Isidoro Pensieri, 44, was today recovering at a hospital in Pisa from serious facial and head injuries and two broken legs, sustained when the ultra-light aircraft in which he was travelling crashed near a restaurant at which a wedding reception was being held.
Martha Stewart recommends that to “get the blossoms to the wallflowers”, the bride should stand “on a balcony, the top of a staircase or a chair”. But at this particular wedding in the Tuscan countryside, it was decided to make what proved to be an imprudent break with tradition.
Pensieri was entrusted with the bouquet so that he could cast it dashingly into the outstretched arms of the unmarried female guests as the plane swooped by.
According to Italian news agency reports, however, the flowers disappeared into the tail rotor, causing an explosion in the motor and pitching the ultra-light into a dive. After just missing a hostel in which some 50 young people were gathered, the aircraft plunged to earth in a wood.
The pilot, 61 year-old Luciano Nannelli, escaped unhurt from the crash, which happened near the town of Suvereto, near Livorno.

Bride’s bouquet brings down plane
July 14th, 2009 |

The traditional throwing of a bride’s bouquet for luck ended in disaster at an Italian wedding when the flowers caused a plane to crash.
The bride and groom had hired a small plane to fly past and throw the bouquet to a line of women guests, Corriere della Sera reported.
However, the flowers were sucked into the plane’s engine causing it to catch fire and explode.
The aircraft plunged into a hostel. One passenger on the plane was badly hurt.
But about 50 people who had been in the hostel escaped unscathed, as did the pilot.
Entangled
The incident happened at Montioni park in Suvereto, near Livorno, where the wedding reception was being held, Corriere della Sera said.
A passenger on the aircraft, named as Isidoro Pensieri, 44, had the job of throwing the bouquet as pilot Luciano Nannelli flew past.
It is believed the bunch of flowers became entangled as it was thrown, and was sucked into one of the engines.
Ms Pensieri suffered multiple fractures and a head injury. She was taken to hospital in Grosseto by helicopter and then transferred to another in Pisa, Italian media reported.</p
