A suicide bomber and his handlers from Nablus were caught just outside of Ramallah today by the IDF before they could pick up the explosive belt and slaughter anyone in a cafe, bus, or checkpoint.
For the second time in 24 hours, security forces have captured a Palestinian suicide bomber before he managed to carry out an attack inside Israel.
Israel Defense Forces soldiers from the Duvdevan undercover unit arrested three members of the Fatah’s military wing from Nablus during a predawn raid south of Ramallah on Wednesday.
The suicide bomber, accompanied by two assistants, were nabbed while on their way to carry out a terror attack inside Israel.
They were members of Fatah, who has this guy as a boss:
Apparently, Mahmoud Abbas is too busy congratulating the winner of the Annual C. Everett Coop Lookalike Contest to tell his minions to stop blowing up Jews or his “security forces” to stop them.

I strongly suspect that the recent glut of Israeli arrests of terrorists (such as the 10 from yesterdays highway chase) has led to a wealth of information via a vigorous interrogation conducted in Shin Bet centers. One captured terrorist can lead to 10, and 10 to 100. That is why although I prefer the terrorists to be killed, there is a reason why Israel takes them prisoner. Finish the fence already though!

They all work together as in the last bomb that IJ took credit for , where the bomber was an Al Aqsa member and Hamas the cashier for the Iranian bank of Damascus.
Joel is correct and that’s why on the day that Tony’s security guys murdered that innocent Brazilian, last July, the Israelis apprehended, disarmed and took into custody, a Palestinian wearing an explosive belt.
