Disco a 'Military Target' Claims Palestinian Media

Un-freaking-believable.Par for the course. File under: what they tell us in English vs. what they are saying in Arabic. WND:

Voice of Palestine, the official radio station of the Palestinian Authority, claimed in Arabic hours after the attack the area bombed "may have looked like a nightclub, but it was not innocent. Rather, it was a high-level Israeli military target,"...

The Palestinian station told its listeners information received from a "very senior Israeli officer" indicated "an elite unit of the occupation army" was meeting in the nightclub and was the target of the "martyr" operation.

Two days later, Al-Hayat al-Jadeeda, an official newspaper directed by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah Party, ran a front-page picture of the suicide bomber, identified as Abdullah Badran, 21, a university student from near the West Bank town of Tulkarem, with a caption calling him a "martyr."
