Four Shalit deal terrorists arrested in kidnap plot
2012-02-24
Four of the terrorists released in the bargain for kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit have gone back to terrorist activity.
Say it isn't so!
The four were recently arrested, and may return to prison. Military prosecutors are asking to send the four back to finish their original sentences. But their lawyers are asking for a new trial and sentencing based only on their latest crimes.
Either way a life sentence solves the problem. A death sentence solves it more quickly...
The four have been identified as Hana al-Shalabi, 25, of Islamic Jihad, Iman Sharwana, 36, of Hamas, Iman abu-Daoud, 34, of Hamas, and Majdi al-Ajouli of Islamic Jihad.

Security sources quoted by the Hebrew-language daily Yediot Aharonot warned that those four Shalit deal terrorists are not alone in having returned to terrorism. Many of those released in the deal would like to free those terrorists remaining in Israel's prisons by arranging another release deal. To that end, they are seeking to kidnap Israeli soldiers or civilians.

1,027 terrorists were freed in exchange for Shalit. Before their release the terrorists were asked to sign forms promising not to engage in terrorism in the future.
Worked well, huh. Sorta like a 'hudna'...

#8  I wish, just once, they'd actually do that. Drop them from 15,000 ft and say they returned a terrorist. They condemnation would be huge, but not anymore than usual. They'd probably get more pats on the back, behind the scene, than anything else. And it would give the terrorists something to think of. You don't die and get captured, you get X amount of time to pray till you go SPLAT.

#7  They signed the forms but they were not on UN stationary.

Israel should return the terrorists next time from 35000 ft with the form they signed as their parachute.

Signed forms (hand writing recognition). Read the form aloud in your native tongue...just to make certain you understand the conditions prior to signing (voice recognition recorded). Photos, mail forwarding addresses, proper haircut (DNA samples). A lift to your old neighborhood. Free cellie. That about wraps it up Mo, please keep in touch.

#5  there is a decent chance that the 4 were caught because of intel provided by one of the other releasees- that has happened in the past

#2  Bad precedent was not running all of them out in 48 and again in 67. Everything else is details.
