Accrording to the Guardian, a distrubing development in illegal betting in the Middle East:
'Israeli police are investing reports that an illegal gambling ring in the country is taking bets on the location of the next suicide bombing.
A syndicate in Kiryat Malachi, a town of 20,000 to the north of the Gaza Strip, is distributing betting slips with odds for the various locations, the Israeli newspaper Maariv reported.
Betting on Eilat, a Red Sea resort that has not seen any violence during the past 21 months of Israeli-Palestinian fighting, is a long shot at 17-1, while often-hit Jerusalem was given odds of 1.5-1.
Bets begin at 10 shekels (£1.40), the betting sheet states, adding that bets only count for attacks of "Arabs against Jews and not the opposite".'
Possible UL or propoganda. Still, given the degree of brutalisation exhibited by both sides, the story is sadly plausible.
