IDF nabs teen wearing bomb belt
Jerusalem Post ^ | May 22, 2005 | Margot Dudkevich

A 14-year-old Palestinian youth wearing a bomb belt with two pipe bombs was arrested by soldiers at the Hawara checkpoint outside of Nablus on Sunday afternoon.

According to a Central Command officer, the youth's behavior aroused soldiers' suspicions, and one of the officers demanded that the youth lift his shirt, which revealed the bombs ready for use.

The officer said the boy also had a cigarette lighter and that he had planned to blow up near soldiers at the checkpoint. Since the beginning of the year, 50 Palestinian minors wearing explosives or attempting to smuggle weapons through checkpoints have been arrested by security forces. The youth was handed over to the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency ) for questioning.

In April, a 15-year-old Palestinian carrying five pipe bombs was arrested by soldiers at the same checkpoint. Soldiers' suspicions were aroused when the youth reached the checkpoint wearing a coat despite the hot weather. When the soldiers stopped him and asked him to remove his coat, he lit a match in an attempt to detonate one of the bombs but dropped it when a soldier aimed his weapon at him. Inside the coat soldiers found the four other pipe bombs.

In February this year, Mahmoud Tabouk, 15, was arrested at the checkpoint after he was caught carrying an explosives belt, a makeshift rifle and M-16 bullets that he was to deliver to someone on the other side. Last October a female would-be suicide bomber was arrested at the checkpoint en route to launch an attack in Israel.

In March 2004, soldiers at the checkpoint prevented Husam Abdu, 14, from detonating an explosives belt. The same month soldiers arrested Abdullah Kuran, 11, who agreed to carry bags through the crossing after receiving NIS 5, unaware that one contained a 10-kilogram bomb. When he was stopped by soldiers for inspection, his dispatchers attempted to detonate the bomb but they were unsuccessful.
