Prison break shocks U.S. security coordinators American-trained guards possibly infiltrated by Hamas terrorist group
JERUSALEM – A prison break yesterday from a Palestinian compound in the West Bank surprised American security coordinators here amid information U.S.-trained security forces manning the prison may have been infiltrated by the Hamas terrorist organization.
Three terrorists yesterday escaped from the Palestinian Authority prison in the West Bank city of Jericho where they were being held for planning a series of terror attacks against Israel. All three were members of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the declared military wing of PA President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah organization.
