East Jerusalem brothers indicted for plotting attack
2014-12-30
[IsraelTimes] Two brothers from East Jerusalem were indicted Monday for joining Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, and plotting to carry out a terror attack in Jerusalem on behalf of the terror group.

The Jerusalem district attorney filed the indictment against Shaaban bin Ahmad Hamed, 28, and Muhammed bin Ahmad Hamed, 23.

According to the document, the brothers are accused of being members of Hamas, recruiting others to join the terror organization, being in contact with a foreign agent, destroying evidence, and obstructing justice.

The elder brother had a history of terror activity and had served time in prison.

The two were said to receive funding from Hamas to perpetrate the attack in Jerusalem, which was in the preliminary stages of planning.

According to Channel 10, the elder brother joined Hamas while in prison.

Shaaban bin Ahmad Hamed borrowed a book from a fellow inmate during his prison term and discovered among its pages a note offering him the chance to join the terror group.

The East Jerusalem resident agreed, and recruited his brother Muhammed as well.

Several days later, he received another book, with instructions, a disk, and an email address of another Hamas operative.

The recruit contacted the Hamas man and was coordinating efforts to receive funding of up to NIS 100,000 to carry out a terror attack.

first, the TV report said, at which point the younger brother allegedly destroyed the evidence.
