Israel-Palestine
Early B(l)oomers

Israeli forces stopped a young Palestinian boy wearing a suicide bomb belt from crossing into Israel from the West Bank, police said Wednesday. Troops were talking to the boy at a checkpoint south of the town of Nablus, trying to persuade him to take off the belt, witnesses said. The military sent sappers to the scene to prepare to defuse it, police said.
They got the belt off him safely and EOD is taking care of it. Now saying he's about 12, don't know if he was to be a bomber or just trying to smuggle it to someone else. Bastards.

Witnesses said the boy appeared to be between 10 and 12 years old. Israel radio said he could be as young as eight.

This is a particularly despicable trend, given that another kid was found with a live bomb in his bag just the other week...
