By some miracle, he was in the same body position that "human cannonballs" use in circus stunts, and the bomb's container must've had enough of a "platform" for him to stand on. Soldiers are going to want to rub his head for luck now.

A Hezbollah terror cell was picked up by Mexican authorities in Tijuana yesterday. Story at American Thinker. America continues to get lucky, but our luck won't last forever.

That story's here. Read this Haaretz report too.
