Paleocoppers nab freedom fighter...
2002-08-20
The head of Palestinian preventive security in the Gaza Strip said his men had arrested a man accused of betraying the slain military chiefs of Hamas and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades to Israel.
Vive le resistance! Oh. Sorry. That's French.
Colonel Rashid Abu Shpak said his forces arrested two weeks ago the freedom fighter "collaborator" who had guided Israeli forces to kill Salah Shehade, the head of Hamas' armed wing, the Ezzedin al-Qassam Brigades, and Jihad al-Omarayn, head of the radical Fatah offshoot.
Cheeze. One guy fingered both of 'em. Good man. What a loss.
Abu Shpak identified the man arrested as Akram Mohammed al-Zatma, a 22-year-old student from Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. He said the accused had been recruited by the Israeli internal security service Shin Beth in July 2000 and assigned to follow the two militant chiefs, whose organisations have killed hundreds of Israelis in suicide bombings and shooting rampages in Israeli cities.
Poor al-Zatma... I don't suppose it's possible to bust him out?
