Palestinian Carrying Two Bombs Caught at Checkpoint
A Palestinian teenager was detained by security forces Friday after troops discovered that he was carrying two pipe bombs. The youth aroused suspicion at the Hawara checkpoint near Nablus because he wore a heavy jacket despite the unseasonably warm weather. He said he had been sent to pass the bombs to Palestinian terrorists waiting on the opposite side of the checkpoint. (Jerusalem Post)
