An Arab woman accomplice to a female suicide terrorist was arrested today. The detainee, from Shechem, was brought to Bituniya on Feb. 26 by a terrorist organization in order to place the explosives pack on a suicide terrorist who killed herself the next day at Maccabim Junction. Three policemen were injured in that blast, but their alertness helped save many lives - as her plan was to commit a mass attack in central Israel. She had refused to have a man place the explosives pack on her.
