On 2 April 2002, upon the entry of IDF forces to Bethlehem, many wanted suspects from all the Palestinian terrorist organizations forced their way into the Church of the Nativity and have barricaded themselves inside the church ever since. The number of terrorists who took over the church is estimated to be around 250, a few of them injured.
Following is a list of the leading wanted suspects who are inside the church:
A. Fatah and Tanzim:
1. Ibrahim Musa Salem Abyat "Abu Galif": born 1973, resident of Bethlehem, is a prominent Tanzim operative who heads a military cell. He is the successor of Hasin and Atef Abyat (deceased), involved in the firing of mortars at the Jerusalem neighborhood of Gilo. He was responsible for the following terrorist attacks:
- June 2001: the murder of IDF officer Yehuda Edri.
- September 2001: the murder of Sarit Amrani.
- January 2002: the murder of Avi Boaz.
2. Abdallah Daud Mahmud A'a-Kader/Tirawi, born 1962, heads the Palestinian general intelligence service in Bethlehem. Originally from the Balattah refugee camp in Nablus, he is a very close disciple of Tawfik Tirawi. A'a-Kader has been involved in the organization and execution of multiple terrorist attacks, as well as produced explosives, was involved in the smuggling of weaponry and provided shelter to operatives of other terrorist organizations. A'a-Kader fully collaborates with senior Tanzim operatives, mainly Ibrahim Abu Gali`f. Both are responsible for the shooting attacks against Gilo and the Bethlehem bypass roads.

He has been continuously involved in terrorist attacks targeted at IDF forces and Israeli civilians. Regularly firing at IDF forces and targets in Gilo, Ja'ara is also a dealer of weaponry to Tanzim operatives in the Bethlehem area, as well as responsible for sheltering wanted suspects. He has condoned the suicide attacks in the media and has even provided his cell phone for the use by terrorists.
4. Ismail Musa Muhammad Hamdan: Born 1968 and a resident of Bethlehem, Hamdan is a Tanzim operative and a member of Ibrahim Abu Gali`f's cell. Hamdan was involved in dozens of shooting attacks against Gilo. He perpetrated some of the most heinous terrorist attacks, including:

5. Nidal Ahmad Isa Abu Gali'f: Born 1973, Abu Gali'f is a resident of Bethlehem. He perpetrated shooting attacks against Gilo and the Bethlehem bypass roads and was involved in the production of explosives. Abu Gali'f is currently the senior assistant of Yihia Da'amsa, who is responsible for many terrorist attacks, such as the suicide attacks in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Beit Israel and the supermarket in Kiryat Yovel.
6. Muhammad Sai`d Attallah Salem: Born 1979 and a resident of the Dehaishe refugee camp, Salem is senior Tanzim operative under the command of Yihya Da'amsa.

7. Kamel Hassan Hamid: Born 1963 and the Fatah General Secretary in Bethlehem; Hamid is responsible for the financing of the Tanzim operations in Bethlehem, including the purchase of weaponry and explosives. Hamid is in direct contact with Marwan Barguti and responsible for disbursing funds to the terrorist operatives.
B. Hamas:

2. Basem Muhammed Ibrahim Hamud: Born in 1972 and a resident of Bethlehem, Hamud is a Hamas terrorist operative. He was involved in the preparation of explosives and dispatched Taleb Harmes and Ahmad Abada, who intercepted en route to committing a suicide attack in Jerusalem's Binyanei Hau`ma Convention Center.
3. Aziz Halil Muhammad Abyat Jubran: Born 1971, and a resident of Bethlehem, Gubran is a Hamas operative. He works with Basem Hamud; produces explosive charges and was also dispatched Harmas and Abda in the aforementioned foiled Jerusalem suicide attack.
They dupe the gullible into becoming suicide bombers, but they cower in fear when given the opportunity to fight.
Anyway, IMAGINE how they would be snorting, spitting, fuming, slavering in the streets, eyes glazed over, chanting their hatred, IF Jews or Christians barricaded themselves inside the Dome of the Rock.
Like I said: people have to respect THEIR ways and places; but the same seems not to apply in reverse. But, hey, nobody ever accused Muslims of being reasonable.

Your friends in this compund are going to die shortly. Couldn't happen to a nicer group of people. Unlike your friends, I will celebrate these deaths quietly and at home, perhaps with a nice glass of Chianti. (I've never been into ululation.)

As Bob Dole would say, "Where's the outrage?"
How come we don't see news clips of the Palestinians dancing in the streets on September 11?
