Militants detained after trying to kidnap Israeli girls
Haaretz ^ | June 15, 2006 | Jonathan Lis

Palestinians tried to kidnap two Israeli girls at the Rechalim Junction, near the West Bank town of Nablus, on Thursday. Israel Defense Forces troops and police officers searched the area, and arrested the three would-be abductors.

The three armed Palestinians pulled up to a hitchhiking station near the settlement of Rechalim, where the two young women were standing. They exited the vehicle and tried to force one of the girls into the car. She fought them off, suffered a light head wound, and fled. The other girl waiting at the hitchhiking station ran away and used her cellular phone to alert security forces.

A short while later, the commander of the IDF company that serves in the region noticed the girl bleeding at the station and approached her. She relayed what had transpired, but did not know that her friend had fled, and it was feared that the latter had been kidnapped.

The men, who had a loaded gun, were caught adjacent to the Shilo junction. The company commander forced them to get out of the car.

The three, apparently residents of Jenin, were detained and transferred to police for questioning. They had were carrying a loaded gun.

Child Dies One Day Before 2nd Birthday

HOUSTON -- A baby died after two men who carjacked her parents drove over her, Houston TV station KPRC reported Wednesday.

Officials said the family stopped at a car wash at about 10:50 p.m. Tuesday to use a telephone. Police said two armed men tried to rob the father and mother.

"While the father was out using the pay phone, two black males approached him and demanded money from the father and the mother," Sgt. C.W. Howard said. "They were unable to produce any money, so the suspects then decided to take their vehicle."

The men pulled the four children, between the ages of 2 and 6, out of the vehicle quickly.

"They brutally pulled these kids and threw them out onto the pavement of the car wash," Sgt. David Crain said.

Investigators said Stephanie Garcia was in front of the vehicle when the men took off.

Officials said the men ran over the girl and kept going.

Stephanie died at Lyndon B. Johnson Hospital.

Family members said Stephanie was one day shy of her second birthday when she died. Relatives said family members had already sent out invitations to her party.

Police said they found the family's 1993 Chevrolet Suburban abandoned about five miles from where the child was killed. They are searching the vehicle for evidence.

Investigators released composite sketches Wednesday afternoon of the two men.

The first man is described as a black male with short, curly black hair, 25 to 28 years old, 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall, 160 to 170 pounds with a slim build. He was last seen wearing a dark blue baseball cap, white T-shirt and blue pants.

Police described the second man as a black male with short black hair, 24 to 25 years old, 5 feet 5 inches to 5 feet 7 inches tall, 140 to 150 pounds with a heavy build. He was last seen wearing a red baseball cap, short-sleeved white Polo shirt pulled over another shirt, baggy black pants and white tennis shoes.

Both remain on the loose.

Anyone with information on this case is asked to call Houston police at (713) 308-3600.
