Mother of 7 held in bomb plot (Religion of Peace Alert)
Jerusalem Post ^ | Dec. 10, 2003 | Margot Dudkevich

A 40-year-old mother of seven children from Nablus was one of three Palestinians arrested by soldiers and Shin Bet agents on Monday for attempting a suicide bombing in Rosh Ha'ayin, security sources said Tuesday.

The concrete warnings received by the Shin Bet sparked a high alert in the Sharon, which was lowered after the capture of the suicide bomber and his helper.

On Tuesday morning, a belt containing eight kilograms of explosives that was to be used in the attack was found by security forces and blown up.

Details of the arrests was released by the Shin Bet on Tuesday. The attack was planned by the Fatah Tanzim infrastructure in Nablus, headed by fugitive Halil Araisha, 23, a resident of the Balata refugee camp. On Monday morning, would-be suicide bomber Suleiman Abu Rawis, 20 of Balata, set out from Nablus together with Tsaber Abu Saris, 37, a Nablus resident. The woman, Latifa Abu Thra'ar, carried the explosives in a separate vehicle.

They believed this was safer, as she was less likely to be subjected to an inspection at IDF roadblocks they had to pass through until they reached their designated meeting point in Kafr Kasim. Officials noted that the meeting spot was chosen because there is no security fence in the area.

When they met, Abu Thra'ar fitted the explosives belt on Abu Rawis, then returned to Nablus. Abu Rawis and Abu Saris headed toward Rosh Ha'ayin but saw the large security presence in the area and decided to return to Nablus. Realizing that the presence of security forces prevented them from returning, they ditched the explosives belt in an open area and headed toward Habla, where they were arrested.

On Monday night, paratroopers surrounded Abu Thra'ar's home and arrested her.

The arrests of the three came a week after security forces arrested two Islamic Jihad members who, acting on instructions from Damascus headquarters, planned a suicide bombing at the ORT High School in Yokne'am. The two were arrested inside a mosque in Bardala and later revealed the whereabouts of a belt containing 10 kilograms of explosives.

Elsewhere in the area, soldiers arrested seven fugitives in Nablus and one in Tamun. In the Gaza Strip, shots were fired at an IDF post near Gadid in Gush Katif and at a patrol on the Karni-Netzarim road. An anti-tank rocket was fired at an IDF post near Gadid. Nine grenades were thrown at soldiers in a post near Rafah.

Please tell me again how checkpoints are so "humiliating" and the security fence is an "apartheid wall."

Well, I suppose this is at least a little better than sending her children off to do her dirty work... But I do wonder (with increasing frustration and pessimism) when the so-called civilized world will *finally* acknowledge that these creatures do not want to live in peace with/next to the Jewish State of Israel. When will we (the collective we) finally admit that there is just no peacemaking with savages who don't want peace, and that you cannot appease those who want nothing other than to slaughter you?

And when will those in charge of this country *publicly* admit that Israel is just another front in the same war vs. islamofascism? There is nothing unique or "different" about the so-called palis vs. al qaeda.

The brain challenged will immediately be incensed that a mosque was "violated"

The normal among us see the confirmation that the sandmaggots routinely use mosques (and ambulances and baby carriages, anything....) to plan and execute their evil deeds.

By the time they get a state, those 7 children would have replenished the loss.

Maybe the Israeli's should have the same policy with Mosques as they do with the homes of bombers. Bring in the bulldozers and level them.

The Israeli's would be much more politically correct if they just let themselves be slaughtered. Most of the world --- including Europe --- would nod with contented approval.

What's really sweet is that she thinks her dear baby is going to Islamic Valhalla to romp with the virgins, whereas he has been escorted down below to become a beatch for the slaves of Satan.

Maybe it's time the Israeli's start returning the captured Suicide Bombers.
Replace their simple pushbuttonswitch with a "detonate on impact device" and drop them outa helicopters on Arafats headquarters or the bombers homes.
