Palestinian Suicide Bomber Caught En Route to Tel Aviv

(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel - Israel Defense Forces soldiers on Friday caught a Palestinian terrorist from Fatah's military wing in Gaza who had crossed the perimeter fence and was en route to carrying out a suicide bombing in Tel Aviv. IDF trackers spotted the infiltration and located the bomber in a field more than a kilometer inside Israel. The IDF sector brigade commander, Col. Avi Levy, said the terrorist was wearing a five-kilogram explosives belt which contained nails and metal scraps intended to maximize the force of impact. The terrorist said he had been instructed to blow himself up in a crowded spot in central Tel Aviv. A short while later, police arrested his guide, a Palestinian married to an Israeli Arab, who lives in Jaffa.
