Israel Security Agency Chief: We Thwarted Abduction at Last Minute
(Ynet News)- Moran Azulay- Israel Security Agency chief Yoram Cohen told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Wednesday: "Recently we have managed to thwart an abduction attack at the very last minute." He noted that 50% of West Bank terror is carried out by Hamas and that out of 28 foiled terror plots, at least 18 were organized by Hamas. He also said that only a few of the Shalit deal detainees resumed their terrorist activity after their release, and that 2,000 terrorists were arrested in the past year. He added, "Security coordination with the PA is good....Given a concrete Israeli warning, the PA does act as it serves its interests too."
