The Associated Press reports that Israeli troops on Thursday killed five Palestinians, including a top
"militant" (terrorist) who said just a day earlier that he would never be caught.
Mohammed Shtawi, a top Al Aqsa fugitive, told an AP reporter on Wednesday that earlier in the day soldiers had surrounded his hideout for five hours, but he and several friends slipped away. "They will never catch me," he said.
So one of the 5 was a miltant. What about the other 4? Hittiing 20 % wouldn't do for the NBA.

One was a "TOP" "militant" (terrorist, that is). That doesn't mean the rest were casually sitting around sipping tea. All five were armed -- four with guns and one with a firebomb. Four were known Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade fugitives. The last was holding a firebomb during a confrontation between stone-throwers and soldiers.
War and basketball are very different, but last time I checked, a 100% hit rate was considered acceptable.
