| Explosives, rifles found in Church |
| 2002-05-11 |
| An IDF bomb squad found several explosive devices and more than 50 rifles in the site of the Church of the Nativity Friday afternoon. Colonel Marcel Aviv, who led the IDF negotiating team, told reporters that the soldiers, accompanied by several of the church's clergymen, scanned the site for any arms that were not handed over to the IDF. "We found over 40 makeshift explosive devices on the site," he told reporters. The IDF allowed journalists to enter the Church of Nativity shortly after the gunmen and civilians exited the compound. The Bad Guys trashed the place, too. But there weren't any terrorists there. |
