Yesterday the Shin Bet security service revealed that it arrested an officer in the Palestinian Authority security services in December who is suspected of involvement in a shooting attack that killed an IDF soldier in 2000. The soldier was killed near the Allenby Bridge when shots were fired at the civilian bus in which he was traveling. A civilian was wounded in this attack. The arrested man is Nadim Awad of Nablus, a member of the PA's General Intelligence Service who was stationed in Jericho at the time. According to the Shin Bet, Awad confessed that he and two other PA security service personnel were involved in the attack, which he said was ordered by senior General Intelligence Service officers in Jericho.
