“Northern J’m: Arab Arrested on Way to Stabbing Attack”
by Hillel Fendel
Follow Israel news on and .
SNIPPET: “(IsraelNN.com) Yet another attempted terrorist attack in northern Jerusalem’s Kalandia neighborhood: On Saturday night, an Arab arrived at the checkpoint there, and was found to be carrying a knife. Upon his arrest, he told the police that he planned to carry out a stabbing attack.
This was the third such incident at Kalandia, near Atarot, in the space of just over a week. In both previous cases, Arab youths were discovered with a knife on their person – a commando knife, in one case - and said they were hoping to stab a Jew.”
SNIPPET: “Five attacks occurred at the Kalandia checkpoint in the month of January. Three explosive devices were hurled at the checkpoint, one bomb exploded, and a terrorist was arrested on his way to perpetrate a stabbing attack.”
SNIPPET: “The terrorist murder of Rabbi Meir Avshalom Chai several weeks ago ocurred near the site of one removed checkpoint; after the IDF located and killed his murderers, Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas sent official condolences to their families and declared the terrorists “martyrs for the Palestinian revolution.” PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad himself visited the families’ mourning tents to pay his respects.”

“PA, Israel jointly arrest six Qaida-linked jihadists in West Bank”
By Amos Harel and Avi Issacharoff, Haaretz Correspondents
(February 8, 2010)
Tags: Jenin, Israel News
SNIPPET: “Security forces of both the Palestinian Authority and Israel have recently arrested members of radical Islamist groups with links to Al-Qaida and global jihadists in various parts of the West Bank. The most extensive group was uncovered in the town of Qabatiya near Jenin.”
SNIPPET: “Security sources in Israel and the Palestinian Authority told Haaretz that six activists were arrested in Qabatiya, some of them belonging to the same family. “
The group was busy disseminating ideas identified with the ideology of Osama bin Laden and his supporters, mostly through the Internet and in meetings at the mosque of Qabatiya during prayer.”
SNIPPET: “The members of the groups that were exposed were also involved in gathering information on possible terrorist targets, mostly through instructions received via the Internet. It does not appear that those arrested were being guided by groups abroad in an organized fashion - as an agent would be by a controller. Apparently, the input was more a result of feedback from global jihadist groups.”

Haaretz exclusive: Hamas founder’s son worked for Shin Bet for years
Haaretz ^ | 02/24/10 | Avi Issacharoff
Posted on February 23, 2010 9:50:38 PM PST by OldDeckHand
The son of a leading Hamas figure, who famously converted to Christianity, served for over a decade as the Shin Bet security service’s most valuable source in the militant organization’s leadership, Haaretz has learned.
Mosab Hassan Yousef is the son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, a Hamas founder and one of its leaders in the West Bank. The intelligence he supplied Israel led to the exposure of a number of terrorist cells, and to the prevention of dozens of suicide bombings and assassination attempts on Israeli figures.
The exclusive story will appear in this Friday’s Haaretz Magazine, and Yousef’s memoir, “Son of Hamas” (written with Ron Brackin) will be released next week in the United States. Yousef, 32, became a devout Christian 10 years ago and now lives in California after fleeing the West Bank in 2007 and going public with his conversion.
Yousef was considered the Shin Bet’s most reliable source in the Hamas leadership, earning himself the nickname “the Green Prince” - using the color of the Islamist group’s flag, and “prince” because of his pedigree as the son of one of the movement’s founders

What an interesting story. I understand that Mr. Yousef has a book coming out (or it has just been released) entitled Son of Hamas. I look forward to reading it. I would imagine this is the kind of story that could lend itself to a fascinating and insightful movie, if only Hollywood made those kinds of movies, you know pro-Israel, pro-Democracy anti-terror.
