| Kibbutz attack suspect arrested |
| 2002-11-14 |
| Israeli forces Thursday arrested the man suspected of planning a deadly weekend attack on a northern Israeli kibbutz, after surrounding the West Bank house where he was holed up for several hours, according to the Israel Defense Forces. Muhammed Neifeh surrendered along with two other Fatah activists in the village of Shweike, north of Tulkarem, the IDF said. When CNN calls them "activists" it always makes me think they go knocking on doors to get people to get out and vote for Yasser, or write letters to the Palestine Chronicle editor... "Muhammad Neifeh belongs to the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, and is responsible for sending the attackers to Kibbutz Metzer on Nov. 11 where five civilians were murdered and the attack in Hermesh on the Oct. 29 where three civilians were killed and others wounded," the IDF said. Among those killed in the kibbutz attack were a mother and her two young sons. Somehow "activist" just doesn't carry the same flavor as "ruthless murderer" or "crazed killer," does it? |
