Fatah Tried to Detonate Explosives on Palestinian Child at Checkpoint
(Jerusalem Post) Margot Dudkevitch - Fatah Tanzim activists in Nablus attempted to use an 11-year-old boy to smuggle a bomb through an IDF roadblock on Monday, and tried to detonate the bomb when soldiers stopped him. The men gave the boy a bag containing a 10-kilogram bomb stuffed with bolts, and promised him a large sum of money if he would carry it through the roadblock and hand it to a woman waiting on the other side. A military policewoman lifted the heavy bag and thought it was suspicious, alerting the others. "When the boy's dispatchers saw he was being detained, they dialed the cellphone inside the bag meant to detonate the bomb, but it failed to go off," said Lt.-Col. Guy, a paratroop commander.
