Second teen caught with bombs at Hawara checkpoint

[drdon326]

A 15-year-old Palestinian was arrested at the Hawara checkpoint outside Nablus on Tuesday afternoon after he was discovered carrying two pipe bombs inside a black bag.

Sappers dispatched to the site later blew the bombs up. Security officials said they believed the boy apparently had been asked to smuggle the bombs and give them to someone on the Israeli side. He was handed over to the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) for questioning.

On Sunday, a 14-year-old Palestinian wearing a belt with two pipe bombs strapped to it was arrested, also at the Hawara checkpoint.

He apparently planned to detonate them near soldiers deployed there.

Security officials noted that since the beginning of the year, 52 Palestinian minors were caught wearing explosives belts or attempting to smuggle weapons through checkpoints in the West Bank.

I guess we should be happy theyre using 14 year olds instead of 12 and 13 year olds.
