Shin Bet in the Line of Fire
(Jerusalem Post) Margot Dudkevitch - On Tuesday, Shin Bet agent Oded Sharon, other agents, and soldiers at the Orhan outpost at the Gush Katif junction were on the lookout for Hamas fugitive Suleiman Omar Tabash when his car was stopped and Tabash was ordered out. After an initial body check failed to turn up anything, he was accompanied to the compound where a more stringent body search was to be conducted before he was questioned. Three meters from the trailer where he was to be searched, Tabash detonated the explosives hidden in his pants, killing Sharon and wounding seven soldiers and Shin Bet agents. Security officials believe Tabash had intended to blow up elsewhere in Gush Katif, either near soldiers or possibly in one of the settlements.
