| Security forces boost efforts to nab Zubeidi |
| 2004-09-22 |
| The IDF and Shin Bet are expected to increase efforts to capture Fatah Al-Aksa Martyrs Brigade commander Zakariya Zubeidi, with operations in Jenin and an adjacent refugee camp. In the past weeks security forces have carried out a number of operations in the city, both covert and overt, including intelligence gathering. Early on Tuesday morning, soldiers from the Golani, Nahal and Paratroopers Brigades arrested 13 Palestinian suspects, including Zubeidi's younger brother Abdel Rahman Zubeidi and cousins Naim Jamil Zubeidi and Anton Jamal Zubeidi. Security officials said that while Zubeidi's brother is not suspected of being involved in terrorist activities, they will seek to obtain details of his brother's whereabouts. The officials, however, did not reveal whether Zubeidi's cousins are suspected of being involved in terrorist activities. In the past security officials have often arrested relatives of wanted suspects in an attempt to pressure the family into revealing the suspect's whereabouts. On September 13, Zubeidi's right-hand man Mahmud Abu Khalifa, 25, was killed along with Yamen Abu Faisel and his brother Amjad in an Air Force missile attack on their car in Jenin. |
