Irish SAS in shock Dublin raid
13 Oct 2001
There was embarrassment for the Irish SAS last night after they mistakenly raided a home furnishings store in Dublin. Highly trained troops, armed to the teeth with high-velocity "smart" weapons, took particular interest in the 3rd floor of the store, which is the bed linen department.
According to the aptly named General Failure, who led the operation with his nephew, Major Disappointment, intelligence sources told them that agents from the al Qaida terror network were hiding in the store.
In fact, all the solders found were "some pretty flowery sheets and a few pillow cases". Private Parts, who was one of the first soldiers inside the building, described the situation to us. "The sheets were all designed by some woman called O'Samie," he said. "And there was a big sign in the window saying 'O'Samie Bed Linen'."
In a press conference this morning, Gregory T O'Mullet, a spokesman for the Irish SAS, said that the mistake was being blamed on "intelligence problems somewhere in China".
How cool is this?
