| 2015-03-25 |
[AnNahar] Israel's Shin Bet internal security service said Sunday it has locked awayYou have the right to remain silent... six members of a Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, cell with kabooms they planned to use in attacks inside the Jewish state. The security forces had seized dozens of kilograms (pounds) of sulphur and 25 grams (just under an ounce) of mercury fulminate "which are used in creating bombs," it said in a statement. Members of the Paleostinian Islamist cell had been based in the northern West Bank town of Qalqilya and used a flat in Nablus as an "explosives lab". The Shin Bet said the six suspects had confessed during interrogation to having been recruited by Hamas elements in Jordan and sent to Gazoo for training. They then went back to the West Bank to carry out military activity and recruit others. Shin Bet said it demonstrated the "high motivation" of Hamas's foreign leadership to prepare military units which could eventually carry out attacks. It did not give any further information on where the alleged attacks inside Israel were to have taken place or when. |
