Out of Egypt: Escaped Would-Be Bomber Is Home in Gaza
(AOL News) Linda Gradstein - Hassan Wishah from Gaza was imprisoned in Egypt three years ago after he was caught in the Sinai Desert trying to slip into Israel to carry out a suicide bombing. He was transporting explosives when he was arrested. As riots engulfed Cairo, the police and guards left the prison, allowing Wishah, 27, to escape to Sinai and then through an illegal underground tunnel to Gaza, arriving to a hero's welcome. "I was hoping I could be a martyr, but this did not happen for me," he told me, saying he hopes he will become a martyr in the future.
