Seen in The Command Post – Global War On Terror – 16 year-old suicide-bomber recruiter indicted

Nasser Awartani, a 16-year-old operative of the Fatah’s al-Aqsa Brigades, was indicated today (Tuesday) at the military court in Samaria over recruiting of Palestinian suicide bombers.

One of the would-be terrorists Awartani allegedly recruited was the “boy bomber” – 16 year-old Husam Bilal, who was apprehended some five weeks ago at the Hawara roadblock with an 8 kg. explosive belt strapped to his body.

According to the indictment, Awartani also dispatched Sabih Abu Saud, also 16, who perpetrated the suicide bombing near the village of Azon near Kalkilya. One IDF soldier was injured in the attack, which took place on November 2003.
