Prisoner accuses Israel of trying to assassinate him with toothpaste

There is no story too outlandish for Arab media to believe.

According to Sama News, a prisoner named Bashar al-Haroub was recently told by prison administration that he was going to a hospital for tests, even though he was not ill.

As he was leaving the prison, a guard asked him if he uses Colgate toothpaste.

When he woke up the next morning in the hospital room, he saw that the toothpaste in the room was Colgate. When he examined it, he noticed that the toothpaste did not look like normal toothpaste.

Instead of just leaving the potentially explosive tube on the counter, he brightly decided to squeeze the entire lethal product down the toilet.

When he went for his medical exam, the doctors asked him why he was there - there was nothing wrong with him.

Clearly, al-Haroub has told his lawyer, the Israelis tried to assassinate him with a James Bond-type toothpaste weapon in a hospital, where presumably all the doctors were in on the scheme so their post-mortem would never report the unspeakable toothpaste weapon that killed him.
