| Israel captures two would-be bombers in Nablus |
| 2002-07-11 |
| Israeli troops operating overnight in villages near the West Bank city of Nablus arrested 10 Palestinian activists, including two Palestinians who planned to carry out suicide bombings. It said one of the would-be bombers was detained during a raid on Asira a-Shimaliya village north of Nablus, where troops seized him and seven other members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. One of those was suspected of commanding a suicide operation, and the other six were suspects in shooting attacks against Israelis in the northern West Bank. In another Israeli raid in the Nablus-area, two more Palestinians were taken into custody, one of them planning to carry out a suicide bombing. Nablus seems to be where it's happ'nin' lately. "Preventive Security" musta been busy somewhere else... |
