| IDF nabs Islamic Jihad political... |
| 2002-11-07 |
| Israeli undercover units abducted Thursday, November 7, Abdel-Nasser Sweiss, local political leader of the resistance Islamic Jihad movement in Tulkarem, in the northern West Bank. Sweiss, 38, was caught inside his brothers' downtown supermarket in Tulkarem by Israeli special forces dressed in civilian clothing, Palestinian witnesses told AFP. Sweiss is on Israel's wanted list. His resistance movement's military wing has claimed numerous anti-Israeli retaliatory attacks. An Israeli army source confirmed the abduction, saying Sweiss had been taken away for questioning. That might be because military wings take their orders from political wings... They also abducted 11 members of a "Tanzim" cell linked to Fatah movement, who were allegedly accused of shooting dead five Israelis near Al-Khalil (Hebron) in the southern West Bank. That sounds like something they might want to discuss... The Israeli occupation army also abducted two fighters of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) near Bethlehem. They were no doubt just standing around, minding their own business, when the IDF swooped down on them for no reason... |
