Palestinian with Explosives Caught Heading for Jerusalem


(Jerusalem Post) Yaakov Lappin - A Palestinian man caught with eight pipe bombs at the Kalandiya checkpoint was trying to get to Jerusalem, the IDF said Tuesday. The man got off a Palestinian bus carrying a large backpack and tried to sneak past security checks for pedestrians at the checkpoint north of Jerusalem. Lt.-Col. Yuval Shenkin, commander of the Military Police's Erez Battalion, praised the alertness of soldiers for seizing the bombs. "They begin their shift at four a.m. 15,000 Palestinians and thousands of vehicles pass through Kalandiya to go to Jerusalem. They prevented the bombs from getting through."
