HIZBALLAH KIDNAP PLOT

IDF: Hizballah Infiltration Cell Planned Kidnapping (Jerusalem Post)
The Hizballah cell which infiltrated into Israel last Wednesday had intended to kidnap an Israeli soldier and carry out a terrorist attack but was quickly detected by Israeli security forces, Head of the Israel Defense Forces Northern Command Maj.-Gen. Benny Ganz told Army Radio on Sunday. The body of one of the Hizballah terrorists remained in Israel's hands, Ganz noted. Two more terrorists, who were also hit by Israeli gunfire and escaped, left behind a great deal of equipment, including night goggles, digital cameras, sawed-down M-16 assault rifles with laser sights, and camouflage gear.
