Soldiers manning Hawara checkpoint shoot dead Palestinian carrying four pipe bombs. Army: We thwarted a terror attack

A 20-year-old Palestinian carrying four pipe bombs was shot dead Monday evening at an IDF checkpoint located south of Nablus in the West Bank.
At around 7 pm soldiers manning the Hawara checkpoint spotted the Palestinian as he was making his way toward them in a suspicious manner with wires protruding from underneath his clothes.
Corporal Michal Ya'akov of the military police recounted the incident: "A young Palestinian who seemed confused arrived at the checkpoint. When he reached the turnstile I stopped him and asked that he pass through the metal detector. The apparatus beeped when he went through. I asked him what it was that he had on his body."
According to Ya'akov, the Palestinian responded by saying 'nothing' in Arabic while lifting his shirt and exposing the pipe bombs, which were strapped to the right part of his body.
"I identified the explosive devices and yelled 'explosives in the checkpoint' and cocked my rifle. Everyone (soldiers) aimed at Palestinian's head and neck so as not to set off the explosive device," she said.
Ya'akov said she then ordered him to lift his shirt up. "The Palestinian raised his arms up for two seconds, then pulled them down and reached for the explosive device," she said. At this point the checkpoint commander shot the man dead.
An IDF source told Ynet that "we definitely thwarted a terror attack. The Palestinian constantly 'played' with the explosive devices in order to activate them and harm the soldiers at the site."
Sappers who were dispatched to the scene removed the explosive devices from the Palestinian's body.
The Hawara checkpoint has seen several terror-related incidents in the past. A week-and-a-half ago a Palestinian was caught there with a 6-inch knife.
In April a Palestinian teenager was detained by soldiers manning the checkpoint after a makeshift pipe bomb was found during a search of his belongings. Sappers conducted a controlled-detonation of the device.
In another incident that occurred last November, two teens were caught at Hawara with a bag containing three makeshift explosive devices.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
They’re clearly using retards again.
This reminds of a Chris Rock video - how NOT to get beat by the police...
If only they had caved to Condimasses commands, this slave of satanallah would have been allowed his "right" to practice his "religion".
Darn! Only one?
Either disabled or drugged up.
Was this kid “special” or was he doped up to the gills? The IDF should run a full blood analysis on this kid and publish the result.
I suspect most of these suicide bombers are drugged to the point of stupor and then pointed in the right direction. This is in marked contrast to the Pali propaganda about heroic “martyrdom”. It looks bad if you have to drug your loyal soldiers to get them to carry out their missions.
Something tells me Condi won’t care.
Either mentally retarded or drugged....
Kudos to the IDF!
You know, even with all the gnashing of teeth here about McCain I'm sure glad that Ms. Rice didn't pursue the Republican nomination.
ML/NJ
They really smell bad, I can vouch for that, up close and personal!
Dr. Rice cares (that the terrorists she supports were stopped).

It wouldn’t be surprised. The “assassins” were a special terrorist brand of Islam. They were stoked to the gills with hashish by their Shiite religious leader, Hasan-i Sabbah, whence the name “assassin.”
Incidentally, their enemies called them assassins; they called themselves Fedayeen, which is where THAT name comes from.
“he was making his way toward them in a suspicious manner with wires protruding from underneath his clothes.”.....
They are going to have to make a seperate Darwin Award web site for these turd brains!.....
Condi will shortly issued a strongly worded statement that Israel must “show restraint”, make more “painful concessions”, and compare the Amalekstinian bomber to the oppressed African-Americans in 1963 Alabama.
