Apparently, the Turkish PM was recently rushed to hospital after falling unconsciuos ... on arrival both bodyguards jumped out at the same time leaving the unconscious PM locked inside a high security vehicle ... they had to drill their way back in!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philistines

Quote:
British writers of the 19th century and very early 20th century sometimes referred to the Arabs of Palestine as "Philistines". This was apparently not due to a belief in a strong connection with the ancient Philistines, but merely reflects the former convention that "Philistine" simply denotes "native of Palestine".
