Oh my.... I was supposed to go to a wedding there Monday night
On Wednesday, Jerusalem police disclosed that they uncovered a terror cell of 'loyal' Jerusalem Arabs (who are entitled to Israeli citizenship) who planned to perpetrate a terror attack at Nof by dressing as Haredim and coming into the hall with mini-Uzi submachine guns hidden under their coats. Dozens could have been killed, God forbid.
The cell included Anas Ouisat, Basel Abidat, Ahmed Sarur and Amru Abado of the Jabal Muchbar neighborhood all between the ages of 19-21, said the indictment.
The four are charged with conspiracy to assist an enemy in time of war.
The indictment's details were as follows: Ouisat and Abidat decided in December 2013, based on nationalistic motivations, that they would carry out an attack against Israeli civilians in Jerusalem and in coordination with terror groups.
Ouisat suggested a shooting attack on the Nof hall both because there would be a large number of casualties, between 800-1500 attendees, and because he had previously worked there.
They planned to enter the hall in Haredi dress in which they would conceal mini uzi guns and they got an estimate of NIS 50,000 from a weapons dealer.
At some point, Sarur joined the group, including performing surveillance of the hall to plan the attack.
However, he had a dispute with the original two, eventually dropped out and was eventually replaced by Abado.Message to wedding halls: I don't care how much money you save by paying less: Stop hiring Arabs and beef up your security. Almost no one is stopped entering a wedding anymore.
