Released terrorist gave instructions for kidnapping soldier

The IDF's blog reports that the Shin Bet recently intercepted a memory stick sent by Omar Abu Sanina, who was released and deported to Gaza as part of the terrorists for Gilad deal. The memory stick had been sent to Abu Sanina's family in Judea and Samaria and included these instructions on how to kidnap an IDF soldier:

“One should avoid hiding [the kidnapped soldier] in deserted places such as caves or forests, unless it’s their body or severed head. If dealing with a live person, which will need to be visited at least once a week (for supplying food etc.) it is best to hide them in a house, a farm, a workplace or similar.”

“Resources, weapons, and explosives should be prepared ahead of time. This with extreme caution and in the proper methods. It is possible to obtain weapons from the enemy, even if it necessitates the use of “cold” weaponry [knives, blades] first.”

“The first stage is to build a small team according to the orders, equipping its members with all the equipment, and training them in executing uncomplicated attacks.”

“We will be informed of the kidnapping only after its successful execution, and only through an encrypted channel. One must not talk openly or give away details, except in face-to-face meetings. We will officially announce the kidnapping via the Supreme Military Council.”

Abu Sanina has been arrested. For now, another kidnapping was thwarted. And at least Gilad is home. /sigh.

A second released terrorist from the terrorists for Gilad trade was also arrested recently for weapons trafficking.

What could go wrong?
