No, really.
“We were traveling along the highway, on a beautiful spring day … and suddenly we saw a helicopter swoop down and anti-terror forces speed by,” Yonatan Danino, a witness, told Israel Radio. “Suddenly we saw a car with security forces surrounding it. They even came out of the bushes.”
The van was stopped at a roadblock near Latrun, located halfway between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Police removed the bomb from the car, setting off a panic among nearby motorists.
“People started to run away from the cars,” Danino said. “Police were shouting into megaphones, ‘live bomb, live bomb,’ and people were running in every direction.”
Jerusalem police spokesman Shmuel Ben-Ruby said the assailants were carrying 11 pounds of explosives and intended to plant a bomb in central Israel. He said 10 people were arrested.
Just another day in the country that Hamas wants to cease to exist.
As an FYI, there are only 19 stories on the Google News portal about this, and four of them are Israeli news sources.
However, if the Israeli helicopters chasing the van had fired a missile and killed the terrorists, guaranteed it’d be all over the news, replete with the lie that they weren’t terrorists.
Just sayin’.
You are just being right, again.
I’m sure the AP has a new preferred term being drafted even now, perhaps “incendiary device enthusiasts.” You know, it’s a hobby!
Good work IDF. Finish the fence and totally lock down the West Bank/Gaza.
I think this Globe and Mail article shows how they’re trying, increasingly, to remain neutral in their reporting on events in Israel and Palestine… It’s an improvement, I think, over some of their reporting in the last 5ish years.
Joel,
You’ve forgotten that Rice and Wolfensohn have demanded open borders for Gazans to move about and a contiguous state for Palestinians.
5 cynic
Since when does Israel take orders from James the asshole Wolfensohn and Condi One Term Rice? I thought they were an independent country not a satrap-like British colony.
