[Ynet] Powerful explosive found by security inspectors hidden in roof of truck carrying goods for Seam Zone settlements; Paleostinian driver nabbed
Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please!
; device purportedly to be used for Independence Day terror attack.

A powerful bomb was discovered Wednesday aboard a Paleostinian truck attempting to pass through the northern West Bank's Reihan crossing.

The Defense Ministry said security inspectors from the Land Crossings Authority located the device secreted in the roof of the truck, which was also carrying goods intended for Israeli settlements on the Seam Zone.

The device was comprised of several improvised pipe bombs, and did not appear to have been put together by any organized terror group.

The truck driver was interrogated by Shin Bet Wednesday evening and his motives were being examined. His relatives are also expected to be questioned overnight.

Paleostinian truck drivers know they will be subject to searches when passing through the main crossings from the Paleostinian Authority to Israel, as was the case with Wednesday's incident.

Police sappers have been rushed to the scene to deal with the device.

Large parts of the West Bank are under closure until Thursday at midnight as Israel marks Memorial Day and celebrates its 70th Independence Day.

#1  I'm sure the Corleone family would know how to appropriately deal with the truck driver if an "Explosive Device Found Aboard Palestinian Truck" was discovered heading into their compound.
