Mossad hit squad ?

Maybe Mossad.

Or maybe it was Hillary. She knows what falling down a flight of stairs can do to adjust a person's attitude.

Classic KGB assassination attempt, slow puncture on bicycle wheel haha

I just hope and pray Mr. Kerry will be ok. He does a very hard and important job.

I really don't know if someone in Geneva is out to get him; I hope not...but in his position you never really know for sure. Of course everywhere he goes the Secret Service are with him; but the S.S. have been known to party and not be at their best.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

A politician working hard that's a new one.

Well at least for him it wasn't a drone strike. Or was it?

More importantly, I hope the bicycle is OK - those things can be beneficial to society and the poor road being hit by a US politician could leave a permanent stain........similar to the bottom of the toilet bowl.

~Lets hope he hit the ground chin first. That would have absorbed the impact nicely

Nah! Not Mossad.
They'd have used a car wearing Palestinian plates to run him down, and left a false ID or Passport and a copy of the Koran sitting on the passenger seat. Just to aid in identification of the perp of course!

I would hope that the streets department there would paint over the stain. Imagine that faceprint staring up at people... scary.

Why? This inquiring mind would like to know.

You can't possibly be that clueless, after all you made it to ATS.

He was flown to Geneva University Hospital by helicopter after the accident near Scionzier, about 40km (25 miles) from the Swiss border.

He said paramedics and a doctor were with Mr Kerry's motorcade when the crash happened.

WTF...........so, he has paramedics and vehicles on hand the moment he came a cropper, but he still gets medi-vaced by chopper for what amounts to a leg injury? What a monumental waste of $$. To give you some perspective, I just signed off on a medi-vac bill last week for $160,000 AUD - and that was a standard dispatch of about 45mins round trip.

Who's paying for this lunacy??

a reply to: gortex
1) Mossad hit squad.
2) His homosexual prostitute abused him.
3) He got drunk and fell.
4) He had a heart attack and the government is keeping him in an induced coma.

OR

5) HE FELL OFF HIS BIKE.

You are correct to say that. I am sorry I made a joke first and others are worried about money.
