What's in an Address.

The Munzinger Archive is Germany's authoritative source for biographical information about figures of contemporary history. In their entry on Sheikh Ahmed Yassin (you remember - the guy from the media blockbuster "Missiles against a wheelchair") the archive's authors reveal a rare sense of humor. Just have a look at the address at which Yassin was said to reside:


Maybe Yassin was letting down his guard when the Israeli helicopters approached on that tragic day in April, 2004 - because he was used to Israeli aircraft bringing fan mail and requests for autographs to his hiding place. One thing is definitely true: Israel really took care of him.
