2003-05-11 Middle East

The IDF on Sunday captured a top Islamic Jihad man, Annas Jaradat, in the West Bank town of Jenin. Jaradat was at the top of the tops the army's wanted list in the northern West Bank city. The army says Jaradat was behind the car bombs at the Megiddo Junction in June 2002, in which 17 people were killed, and at the Karkur Junction in October 2002, in which 14 people were killed. He was seized in a home in Jenin. Military officials said he was planning another series of attacks.

Somebody else will have taken his place within a week. But it's good to see the manpower pool shrink, even though we know the promotion policy's not letting things change that much. I do hope Ramadan's paying these guys well, though, to make up for the lack of life expectancy and the likelihood of a free striped suit.

#1 Oddly, the lack of good pay and perks is one reason the IDF has decent success in recruiting information assets in the IJ (and Hamas too for that matter). No doubt, the operation to capture Annas J was based on precise intel.
