Yesterday, after his son blew himself up, Palestinian Kamal Abu Saud spoke to the press:
“He was just a little boy and those who sent him should have left him alone,” the father told the media yesterday.
Saud said that before yesterday, he had contacted the Palestinian security forces and reported his son missing; by the time of his report, the son had apparently already left Nablus.
But Sabih’s grandmother doesn’t seem to share her son’s regrets.

Just 10 days after his 16th birthday, Abu Saud strapped on an explosives belt and embarked on a two-day odyssey of revenge across the West Bank, sparking an Israeli manhunt. Cornered by troops on Monday, he detonated the device in the West Bank village of Azzoun, killing himself and becoming the youngest of more than 100 suicide bombers who have killed over 450 Israelis since 2000.
