Three others planned to kidnap a Nazareth resident and behead him on video, but did not do so. Elgrisi said that they had even dug a grave for the Christian man who “insulted the prophet Muhammad.”

Seven Israeli Arabs affiliated with al-Qaida and Global Jihad have been arrested for allegedly murdering a taxi driver last year, and carrying out a series of terrorist attacks, the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) revealed on Monday.

In a joint police-Shin Bet operation, Ahmed Ahmed, 21, Jalib Janam, 26, Wassim Allam, 23, Khidar Ziddana, 22, Ahbed Abu-Salim, 19, Adi Azzam, 23, and Oman Kakhibi, 22, all Nazareth residents, were arrested between May 11 and June 21. All seven were indicted Monday at the Haifa District Court. Dep.-Cmdr. Avi Elgrisi, Head of Amakim Police’s Central Unit told The Jerusalem Post that “this is one of the most dangerous cells we have uncovered.” The investigation was initially focused on two suspects, before being widened to include a total of seven suspects, he said, adding that police are expected to make more arrests in connection with the investigation.

The seven said that they founded a group called Aljahabiyya and claim to follow Salafism, an extremist Sunni Islamic movement. Aljahabiyya was formed two years ago, and inspired by and affiliated with al-Qaida and Global Jihad. The group underwent a process of radicalization, using material found on the Internet, including pictures of weaponry and instructions to prepare explosives and perpetrate terrorist attacks. The seven downloaded al-Qaida propaganda movies and speeches by Osama Bin Laden.

‘Suspects accessed jihadi ideology and indoctrination’

“They accessed the Internet for jihadi ideology and indoctrination, and used it as an information source to listen to extremist clerics,” Elgrisi said.

The group allegedly carried out attacks to avenge the murder of Arabs by Jews in Israel, and confessed to plotting to kidnap IDF soldiers and take their weapons.

Ahmed, Janam and Zidanna were involved involved in the murder of taxi driver Yafim Weinstein, who was killed on November 30, 2009, as well as other attacks. In their interrogation, the three confessed to ordering Weinstein to a kibbutz near Nazareth, where one shot the taxi driver, and others assisted in destroying evidence. They reenacted the murder and led investigators to the place they hid the murder weapon used to kill Weinstein.

Weinstein, 54, a Nazareth Illit resident, was found murdered in his cab outside Kfar Hahoresh in November, leaving behind a wife, children and a grandchild. Details of the investigation were under a gag order until Monday morning.

The Shin Bet also found that after the murder, Ahmed and Janam attempted to travel to an al-Qaida training camp in Somalia to join the fighting against the Christian “heretics” as well as against the US, but were barred from entering Somalia at the Kenyan border.

Three others planned to kidnap a Nazareth resident and behead him on video, but did not do so. Elgrisi said that they had even dug a grave for the Christian man who “insulted the prophet Muhammad.”

The men also threw stun grenades and Molotov cocktails at Jewish- and Christian-owned businesses and homes in the town. They burnt Christian tour buses, and dealt in arms.

They also stabbed a pizza delivery man in Nazareth Illit, stealing his scooter and NIS 100.

“On the criminal front, we are searching for criminals who sold weapons to the suspects,” Elgrisi said. “Security suspects will also be arrested.”

In April 2009, Elgrisi led an investigation into a terror cell made up of six Israeli Arabs and a Beduin from the North who had reached an advanced stage in their plot to carry out an attack on Israelis.

The cell had prepared several explosive devices and simulated the kidnapping of soldiers while engaging in Internet communications with a terror operative based in Gaza, known as “Abu Kassam.”

The cell filmed their preparations, Elgrisi said last year, adding that in one exercise, a cell member pretended to be an IDF soldier while the remainder of the group practiced abducting him.

    It’s simple: END THE OCCUPATION – ARABS OUT!

  2. Shin Bet Arrests Seven Terrorist Scum Accused of Murders

    “ARRESTS” says it all. This means the scum in question will get mild prison terms if they get any punishment at all, and will be let go as part of a political deal.

    Here is a hint to Shin Bet and the IDF; even if official policy is to allow the vermin to surrender, they won’t have an opportunity to surrender if you just empty your clip into them. Furthermore, the slightest uncertain motion can be interpreted by a “reasonable person” as going for a weapon or a suicide belt. U.S. police were not held criminally accountable for shooting a man who was reaching for his wallet because they believed he was going for a weapon. I am not sure I agree with the latter because the initial confrontation was unnecessary but that is the way it went down.

    Another hint to Shin Bet and so on. When my father was put on sentry duty during World War II, a friendly sergeant or officer advised him, “If you have to shoot somebody, make sure you kill him. Then there is only one story as to what happened: yours.”

    Maybe the aincients had it right, The death penalty in the old ages was so brutal that people thought twice before commiting heanous crimes. Maybe it is time for Israel to implement hanging as a penalty for murder.

    In the murdering of the 4 Isralis and an unborn child, it is my opinion that the assassins had to come from a nearby Arab town. That town should be put to flame and all males of military age deported to Gaza. I have always lived by the adage of: hit me with a swicth and I will clobber you with a baseball bat.
