Islamic Jihad bomber nabbed on main Jerusalem-Tel Aviv Hway
Islamic Jihad bomber nabbed on main Jerusalem-Tel Aviv highway

A helicopter-directed police chase on the main Tel Aviv-Jerusalem highway ended Tuesday with the capture of a van transporting a would-be suicide bomber carrying explosives meant for an attack in the center of the country.

The van was stopped next to Kibbutz Sha'alabim, near Latrun, a rural area midway between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, police said. The 10 men inside the vehicle were taken for questioning, and it was later determined that the prospective bomber was among them.

The arrests capped a 15-minute high-speed chase, complete with wailing sirens, roaring helicopters and heavily armed elite police commandos racing on motorcycles.

The terrorist is a resident of the Yamoun village in the West Bank and has ties to Islamic Jihad.
