The Times of London profiles a Nablus fugitive adjusting to life under Israeli amnesty. Reporter James Hider’s profile of Ala Sanaqra is great reading, but omits a crucial detail; fortunately, a Times reader posts a comment informing us why Sanaqra, now 27, was wanted by Israel:
Ala Sanaqra is charged with training and supplying children as young as 15 with suicide bomb belts with the intention of killing as many Israeli civilians as possible. In 2004 he recruited an 18 year old girl to blow up a bus station in Jerusalem killing 2 men and injuring 17 bystanders. What a nice boy.
