A wanted terrorist, Muhammad Muntasser Taufik Abu Zaid, was shot and injured while attempting to escape arrest in Bethlehem today. The 19 year old who is responsible for numerous shooting attacks at Israeli Soldiers and who had recruited terrorists for bombing attacks against Israeli civilians is currently in an Israeli hospital receiving medical treatment.

Abu Zaid is an explosives expert involved in bomb construction and weapons dealing and according to security sources received directives and funds
from members of the Popular Resistance Committees terror organization in the
Gaza Strip. Abu Zaid was known to be planning further attacks as recently as the past few days. This is arrest has hopefully prevented the death of further Israeli civilians.
