Israeli Doll Sparks Terror Scare On Cyprus Flight
by Shifra on June 1, 2016Why would a passenger label the box “b-o-o-b-a” rather than using the Hebrew word בּוּבָּה ? Better yet, how about using the word: d-o-l-l ? And, did the airline worker really think terrorists would label a box containing a bomb: b-o-m-b ? Inquiring minds want to know. Via Times of Israel.
