Them, and SAM on our security picks, read this, and understand why I have been buying>>Israeli Guards Shoot Dead 3 Kurds In Berlin Feb 17 5:22pm ET BERLIN - Israeli guards killed three Kurds as a group stormed Israel's consulate in Berlin Wednesday in the worst violence since protests swept Europe over Turkey's capture of Kurdish guerrilla leader Abdullah Ocalan. Police said up to 16 people were wounded. Kurdish witnesses said one was an 11-year-old boy. A senior field commander of Ocalan's separatist guerrillas, Cemil Bayik, called on Kurds in Europe to refrain from violence. ''Our people must carry out their actions within the democratic framework,'' Bayik, tipped as a possible successor to Ocalan, told Belgium-based Med TV from northern Iraq. ''Some of our people are setting fire to themselves. This is definitely not right.'' In Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the guards had fired in self-defense. The Israeli ambassador to Germany accused local police of being unprepared for the Kurdish attack. Netanyahu told a news conference that dozens of Kurds, some with hammers and clubs, broke in and took a woman hostage. She was freed after German authorities negotiated her release. ''Our people have standing orders to prevent, with force if necessary -- including by opening fire -- any attempt to take hostages and to defend themselves,'' Netanyahu said. ''They tried to take a weapon from one of our security men. That was when firing broke out and the first casualties occurred,'' he said. ''We are sorry when lives are lost but we are committed to protecting Israeli citizens wherever they may be and Israeli facilities anywhere in the world.'' This is no joke, and can quickly excalate to levels no one wants to see. Keep a lid on our picks for now.
