Nablus Under Curfew
(Guardian - UK) Chris McGreal - Colonel Noam Tibon, a 40-year-old, Harvard-educated, IDF career officer, is specific about why he has subjected Nablus to a longer and tighter curfew than anywhere else. "The people in Nablus are responsible for more than 80% of all the suicide bombs in Israel," he said. "The biggest laboratories for making bombs are here, and many people who volunteer for suicide squads." As a result of the curfew, no homicide bombings have been successfully launched from Nablus in the past 100 days and 15 potential bombers have been captured.
