Arafat's Fatah setting up suicide squad in Jenin by Amos Harel Courtesy of Ha'aretz Friday November 23 2001 Activists of Fatah's military wing in Jenin have established a "suicide unit" in order to carry out terror attacks in Israel. Security sources said yesterday that the unit is named after Nazir Hamed, the Fatah activist responsible for the shooting in the Afula bus station this October, in which one woman soldier and two civilians were killed and dozens wounded. Security officials say Fatah is refraining from terror attacks using bombs within the Green Line, but has unreservedly violated its past taboo against suicide attacks or attacks within the Green Line. According to the sources, Fatah's current preferred method of action is attacking civilians by opening fire inside Israeli cities. In August, Ali Al Julani, a resident of East Jerusalem affiliated with the Fatah movement, shot soldiers and civilians near the Kirya army base in Tel Aviv. A dozen Israelis were lightly wounded in the attack, and Julani was killed by a passing policeman. Security officials said yesterday that the Shin Bet has arrested a Fatah activist from the Jenin area, on suspicion of involvement in suicide bombings in Israel. The detainee, 22-year-old Sadel Tahaineh, confessed to placing a bomb in a settlement in Wadi Ara. The bomb was activated by a cellular phone but didn't cause harm. Tahaineh admitted in his interrogation that he had planned additional bombing and shooting attacks in the Wadi Ara region. At the time of his arrest, Tahaineh was involved in a plan to plant a booby-trapped car in Zichron Ya'akov. However, the Fatah activist who was supposed to drive the car into the town was killed along with two Fatah military-wing leaders when the car they drove in was bombed in Jenin.
