He also told the Shin Bet he used ambulances to transport the chemicals. Details of his arrest on Nov. 24 were released Wednesday. Nimr said senior Hamas commanders from the Nablus area hid inside the hospitals to evade arrest. Nimr sold Hamas commander Khaled Abu Hamed six containers of hydrogen peroxide, one of the ingredients used to make TATP, an explosive used by Hamas in numerous suicide bombings.
