Terrorists on the Move

DEBKAfile reportsFebruary 12, 2006, 10:23 PM (GMT+02:00):

Abu Mazen frees second batch of convicted Palestinian terrorists from Jericho lock-up – again without notice
IDF brought up reinforcements Sunday night to surround the town and threw up roadblocks on roads to other parts of the West Bank and Jerusalem.
The first 56 were suddenly released on Palestinian Authority chairman’s orders Thursday Feb. 9. Among them were 26 Islamic Jihad members from northern and central Samaria, who plotted and masterminded suicide bombings in Hadera, Netanya, and Kfar Saba in 2005. Also released were 13 members of the PA General Intelligence Service, loyal to Col. Tewfik Tirawri, and 17 members of the PA Military Police – all of whom participated in terrorist attacks.
Abu Mazen thus renews Yasser Arafat's revolving-door policy for terrorists.

Palestinian infiltrators may have made first large breach in Israel’s West Bank defense wall
Sunday night, Israeli forces discovered a breach in the wall near Kibbutz Bakhan northwest of the West Bank town of Tulkarm and tracks of two men leading across the border into Israel. Large forces spread out with helicopter support to hunt the infiltrators. In the past week, a dozen would-be suicide bombers were intercepted in the West Bank before reaching Israel.
