| PFLP thugs nabbed in Ramallah... |
| 2003-01-11 |
| In Ramallah, Israel's army arrested two officials of the radical Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), an Israeli military source said. The army had been looking for Hassan Fatafta, 42, for several months, the source said. He was arrested along with fellow PFLP member Ishaq Amin Khader Younes, 56, who formed part of the PFLP leadership based in Damascus, the military source said. Oooh! That's a nice catch! Their arrests - not immediately confirmed by Palestinian security sources - came as Israeli security forces dismantled a PFLP cell charged with directing the group's operations in Jerusalem, he added. The army also nabbed 17-year-old Hussein Hanani in Ramallah, although it did not give a date for his arrest. The source said Hanani was a would-be suicide bomber plotting to attack a Jerusalem bus station for the PFLP. Hussein's almost an afterthought, a bit of cannon fodder that won't get the opportunity to explode... |
