| IDF arrests Senior Hamas Militant |
| 2003-01-14 |
| The IDF arrested Salman Drarmeh, a senior Hamas leader in the West Bank town of Tubas near Nablus on Tuesday afternoon, Palestinian sources said. Drarmeh once escaped an attempted assassination by Israel. And now he's in the bag. In Qalqilyah, troops arrested a Tanzim militant who planned a suicide attack. Keis Ahmed Nasura, 17, is one of 11 Palestinians arrested overnight and Tuesday morning in the West Bank. In Tul Karm another Tanzim activist was arrested, who according to the IDF, planned a suicide attack. IDF troops in the area also arrested four Islamic Jihad activists carrying explosive belts and bombs. Six more wanna-be boomers in the bag as well. A leader of the militant Islamic Jihad organization was killed and a second activist was wounded in an explosion near the West Bank city of Nablus on Monday. The two were apparently constructing an explosive device when the blast occurred. I think these are the guys that were reported yesterday to be trying to fire a shoulder launched rocket. Seems to be another "work accident". |

| #2 It seems that Israel's policy of popping or bagging the leaders is slowly paying off. The top people can read the manuals, but when they are gone, intermediate management and the bottom feeders cannot make it happen without these OSHA violations. Hopefully if and when we go to war with Iraq, et. al., we can stop the flow of funds and resources to these terrorist organizations and give everyone a break. |

| #1 The boomers are getting younger and younger and the explosives "experts" get less expert every day...attrition does have consequences |
