| Undercover soldiers nab Hamas's leader in Jenin |
| 2007-01-12 |
| Border policemen dressed as Palestinian Arabs infiltrated a Jenin refugee camp Thursday morning and arrested Khaled el-Haj, a senior Hamas commander in the northern West Bank, along with one of his lieutenants. El-Haj was released from an Israeli prison only two moths prior to Thursday's arrest operation, military sources said. Palestinian witnesses said the daytime arrest raid was executed quickly, and no shots were fired during the course of the operation. According to the witnesses, the border policeman arrived in a civilian vehicle to a building in refugee camp just after noon. The troops surrounded the home and swiftly arrested el-Haj and a second man, before placing the militants in their vehicle and driving away. Additional jeeps arrived to secure the extrication from the refugee camp, and the forces left the area before locals became aware that a raid had taken place. A handgun was found in the building where the two men were located, the army. Both men were handed over to the Shin Bet (Israeli Security Services) for questioning. |

| #4 There was a truly bad movie with that theme -- exploding neck collars for prison inmates. Think Rutger Hauer (?) was the lead actor. |

| #3 Personally, I like the idea of installing a tamper-proof explosive collar around their neck. Simple rules, really, 1) Any attempt to remove or tamper with the collar and it will explode. 2) If you start to move out of radio range, or into a shielded area, the collar will glow red. If it glows red for 1 minute, then it explodes. 3) The collar also has a microphone, so anyone who speaks in its vicinity will be heard. 4) The battery runs low periodically, so the wearer has to report back to the Israelis to get his battery replaced. If he doesn't do this, well, you guessed it. |

| #1 Put a bomb around their necks and attach it to a dead-man's switch. That'll at least guarantee the mission is a 50% success. |
