Jericho raid: IDF uses Caterpillar D-9 bulldozer


The Israeli Defense Force raided a Palestinian prison in the West Bank town of Jericho today.

And for those who are wondering what terrorists look like in their underwear, here's your opportunity, courtesy of the Jerusalem Post.

It'll take a few days for this to find its way to Illinois and Peoria, but at least one Caterpillar D-9 bulldozer was used in the attack. Caterpillar's headquarters are in Peoria, and the tractor and heavy vehicle manufacturer is one of Illinois' largest employers.

It was a Caterpillar bulldozer that ran over International Solidarity Movement protester Rachel Corrie three years ago in Gaza. That incident, which clear thinking people view as an unfortunate accident, put Caterpillar at the top of the PC Left's list of companies to divest stock from shortly after Corrie's death.
