Juvenile Bomber Planned to Blow Himself Up
(IsraelNN.com) The 14-year-old suicide bomber apprehended near a Shechem checkpoint earlier today told army officers that he was not just carrying the bomb belt under his shirt, but was planning to blow himself up. He told army officials he was given NIS 100 (about $20) and promised sex when he arrives in heaven.
According to IDF Lt.-Col. Guy, the commander of Paratrooper Battalion 202, the bomb belt being worn by the terrorist weighed approximately eight kilograms (17.5 pounds) and the terrorist, Hissam Abdu Bilal, a resident of Shechem, explained he did plan to blow himself up.
Lt.-Col. Guy explained if he would have passed undetected, he would have tried to perpetrate an attack inside Green Line Israel. Since that was not the case, he did try to trigger the bomb against soldiers at the checkpoint but it failed to detonate. Guy praised the sharp eye of his soldiers, who undoubtedly prevented yet another suicide bombing attack.
They just didn't tell him what kind of sex...
