Palestinian Woman with Bomb Arrested Near Ariel


(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel and Arnon Regular - A Palestinian woman, Fatan Dararmeh, 28, was arrested Thursday outside the city of Ariel by IDF reservists while carrying a bag containing a 25-kilogram explosive device. Apparently Dararmeh was not meant to serve as a suicide bomber but rather to transfer the device to another person. The woman was operating on behalf of an Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades cell in Nablus. David Baker, an official in the Prime Minister's Office, said "this incident was part and parcel of an incessant and stepped up Palestinian campaign of terror geared to decimate the lives of Israeli citizens in the hearts of their own communities. Israeli security forces continue to make extensive efforts at preventing terror attacks, including the 10 attacks they successfully prevented during this past week's Passover holiday."
