Israel: Terrorist caught red-handed then released |
2007-08-10 |
Israel yesterday captured an Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades member while he was engaging in terror-supporting activity but let him go after it was determined he was on a list of wanted gunmen granted amnesty by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, WND has learned. Part of the amnesty deal required the 178 terrorists – all of whom are members of the Brigades, the declared "military wing" of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah's organization – to sign a document stating they will not engage in terrorist activity and that they would restrict their movements to the city in which they reside for three months. The Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades took responsibility along with Islamic Jihad for every suicide bombing in Israel the past three years. The amnesty agreement reportedly was made as an Israeli gesture to Abbas' and to bolster Fatah against Hamas in the West Bank. The incident in question occurred last night at 8:30 p.m. Jerusalem time when the Israel Defense Forces stopped what security sources said were four suspicious Palestinians entering the al-Badin checkpoint outside the northern West Bank city of Nablus. Two Palestinians were immediately let go when it was determined they were civilians, but the two others – known Brigades members – were detained after they were found to be carrying large quantities of bullets security sources said were being smuggled from the city of Jenin to Nablus. According to security sources, the Brigades members normally reside in Nablus and had left the city and purchased the bullets in Jenin. They were captured upon trying to reenter Nablus. In line with the amnesty agreement, the one terrorist on the list had pledged to restrict his movements and remain in Nablus. The sources said the listed militant told the IDF repeatedly he was on Israel's amnesty list and that arresting him would "blow up" relations with the PA. After consulting with superiors, the IDF released the Brigades member on the amnesty list but arrested the other gunmen. |

#10 Well, that didn't take very long, now did it? I'd say "I told you so" but it's doubtful that anyone here bought into Olmert's amnesty idea for even a nanosecond. What part of "taqiyya" does Olmert not understand? The sources said the listed militant told the IDF repeatedly he was on Israel's amnesty list and that arresting him would "blow up" relations with the PA. Which—of course—is entirely different from how this scumbag wants to "blow up" |

#6 Conceptually, I could understand an amnesty for past actions, and an agreement not to do it again or you will be But, in this case, it's more like a Get Out Of Jail Free, reusable. |
