 A 15-year-old Palestinian boy, allegedly carrying three bombs, was arrested on a checkpoint south of Nablus, the Israeli official radio said Monday. The teen-ager, who hails from the Balata refugee camp, was crossing the Hawara checkpoint when he was suspected and searched by the army and was found to be carrying three bombs, which were dismantled by explosive experts. Eyewitnesses, who were on hand at the checkpoint, said the youngster "denied the claims made against him." This is not the first time, Israel claims that Palestinian children were being used by resistance men to smuggle bombs to be used in military missions inside Israel.
