An explosive device transported in a Taxi near Nablus

A Tanzim operative, Ibraihim Hamed Salem Abu Zahu, was arrested in possession of a powerful explosive device weighing 10 Kg, at the Tubas checkpoint near Nablus. The explosive device was designated to be used for a suicide bombing attack inside Israel.

Abu Zahu was arrested yesterday, September 09, 2004, following high intelligence alerts regarding Tanzim operatives from the region of Jenin and Nablus who were operating recently to carry out a suicide bombing attack inside Israel, by dispatching a person who will pass from Nablus into israel.

On Wednesday, September 08, 2004, information was received regarding the intentions of the Tanzim infrastructure to transfer a bag laden with explosives from Nablus into Israel.

On Thursday, September 09, 2004, following specific information forces deployed in the area between Jenin and Nablus in order to arrest Abu Zahu, the Tanzim operative carrying the explosive bag.

Yesterday afternoon, after IDF forces pursued Abu Zahu, a force identified a taxi attempting to bypass the Tubas checkpoint. As the forces stopped the taxi a bag containing explosives and a battery were thrown out of the car.

Suppers found a powerful explosive device within the bag, and detonated it in a controlled manner.

In addition, the passengers of the taxi were questioned at the spot, among them Abu Zahu, the Tanzim operative who was involved in this attempted attack.

The discovery of the explosive device followed an intense intelligence efforts thwarted an additional attempt by the Tanzim in Nablus to carry out another suicide bombing attack inside Israel.

Almost everyday such a terror attack is intercepted, though the MSM never report it. Them doing that means that in 2 months if such a terror attack succeeds, they will say it was a 2 month period of "calm."

I don't know why the Israelis don't just shoot the b@stards when they catch them red-handed like this. Its not like the guy was bringing lunch to his sick grandmother.

Then there'd be reporting, and eventually each of the reports would have to include a description of what the lowlife murderers had with them. Also, more of them dead means that there'd be less of them available to exchange for dead Israeli bodies later on.

This is the big untold story....Th PA is not held accountable for the attempts at mass murder by their animal shahids. Every attempt should be regarded the same as if they were "successful"!!!!!
