Israel arrested four Israeli Arabs suspected of planting a bomb at a soldiers’ hitchhiking post in the Galilee, the Jerusalem Post reported. An alert soldier raised the alarm after spotting a suspicious bag near the post last Friday, averting a disaster. The four suspects, who reportedly were recruited by Palestinian militiamen from the West Bank city of Jenin, admitted that they also planned to kidnap and murder soldiers, according to Israel’s Army Radio.
