Arab picnicker in minefield falls from helicopter, dies

This happened in Israel on Wednesday. We still have lots of minefields in and around the Golan Heights - the Syrians left them to us after the 1967 Six-Day War.

A 24-year old Arab and his buddies decided to have a picnic in a minefield. The Arab stepped on a mine and his foot was blown off. He had to be rescued by a chopper, but that wasn't the end of his bad luck. He fell from the helicopter More.., was critically wounded and eventually died.

This happened near Beth Shean, Northern Israel on March 11, 2009.
