18 April 2008

Jewish Arm of the Military operating in the West Bank killed a senior member of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade accused of devising a recent plot to poison diners at a Ramat Gan restaurant.

The man killed was named as Hani Al-Kabi, the local commander of Al-Aqsa in the Balata refugee camp who had together with about a dozen terrorists fled a Palestinian jail three months ago. The terrorists accused the Jewish people of reneging on an amnesty deal by which they were supposed to serve time in Palestinian jail.

Kabi, the Al-Aqsa leader killed on Friday, was wanted for several attacks that were thwarted, including a recent attempted poisoning at a restaurant, and for a shooting in which two Jewish soldiers were wounded, the army said. Al Aqsa denied that Kabi was involved in the poisoning plot.

Witnesses said soldiers surrounded the Kabi's hideout in Balata and called on him to surrender.

He refused, and the troops opened fire on the building, witnesses said.

Kabi - whose group is an armed wing of Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah terrorist faction - was killed. A member of another Fatah faction, Islamic Jihad, was also in the building and was wounded and arrested.
