Cleared for publication: IDF arrests Palestinian who planned to carry out terror attack in West Bank settlement

An IDF force operating in the West Bank on Monday morning uncovered an explosive device weighing 40 kilograms (88 pounds), which was hidden inside the corpse of a sheep.

The soldiers were led to the device by a Palestinian terrorist who was arrested and questioned by the defense establishment.

According to intelligence information, military sources believe that the device, which was found on a road near the settlement of Elon Moreh, was slated to be used in a terror attack in one of the settlements in the area – Elon Moreh, Kedumim, Itamar or Bracha.

On Sunday night, an IDF officer was lightly injured in an operation in the Nablus area after Palestinian gunmen opened fire at the force.

Eight wanted Palestinian terror suspects were arrested across the West Bank on Sunday night. Three were detained in Nablus and the other five were arrested near Ramallah and in Hebron.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas are expected to meet in Jericho on Monday afternoon in a bid to advance negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians.

If they’re having to use dead sheep, maybe they are running out of suicide bombers.

I seem to recall a story of how the palis used a mule or donkey to deliver a bomb, and PETA went ballistic over it... They loudly objected to the death of the animal... Didn't care how many people were killed, just that an animal was killed.

Instead of packing fudge, Palestinian terrorist are now packing explosive into sheep?

PETA has no qualms over their own slaughters of animals. They’d rather a cat or dog die than be somebody’s “pet.”

Any vultures in that environs? I'd think that if the IDF hadn't found it, the explosive device would have very shortly become "uncovered" by mother nature.

Actually, the old “Get Smart” bit. The old Carnack The Magnificent Bit would be more like...

*hold envelope to turban*

“The answer is ‘A Palestinian’s girlfriend, Fred Phelps, and a Code Pink protest.’”

*open envelope*

*blow in envelope*

*take out question*

“The question is ‘Name a sheep, a creep, and place to Freep!’”
