| 14 Palestinian prisoners escape from PA prison in Nablus |
| 2008-02-22 |
| 14 Palestinian prisoners from Fatah's al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, who are wanted by the IDF, escaped from a Palestinian Authority prison in Nablus Thursday. The prisoners said they had escaped "to protest the prison administration not living up to agreements" with them. The escapees were slated to speak to the media right after the arrest but ended up calling off the press conference. |

| #6 "Escape"? I rather doubt they traded chocolates for fake identity documents and tunneled for months. More like they walked out of the door when their demands for cable TV and weekly visits by comfort women were not met. |

| #4 Oooooops. Probably figured they were safer inside Chez Prison than having the IDF hunting them down... Fourteen Aksa Martyrs Brigades terror operatives gave themselves up to the Palestinian Authority Friday after escaping from a Nablus prison the previous day. Palestinian officials said that the inmates surrendered after negotiations with Palestinian security forces. The prisoners, who are wanted by the IDF, said Thursday they had escaped "to protest the prison administration not living up to agreements" with them. Israeli officials said the escape demonstrated the PA's inability to fight terror. Meanwhile, IDF troops arrested ten Palestinian fugitives in overnight operations in the West Bank. The detainees were transferred to security forces for interrogation. |

| #2 Doesn't exactly sound like "Escape From Alcatraz" does it? What were they pissed about? No red carpet on the escape route? |
