Security sources report the arrest of Jamal Tirawi, who has a dual role as terrorist by night and Palestinian legislator by day (except when terrorism requires extra hours during daylight):

In an Israeli security forces operation in Nablus early this morning, May 29th 2007, the forces arrested four senior wanted operatives from Tanzim, an offshoot of the Fatah organization. The forces uncovered three handguns in the building where the three were staying. The four were involved in bombings and shooting attacks against Israelis in which civilians were killed and injured, and belong to a terrorist infrastructure guided and funded by Hezbollah.

The leader is Jamal Abdel Hamid Mohammad Tirawi, 41, is a senior Tanzim terrorist in Nablus, one of the heads of Palestinian General Intelligence in Nablus and a member of the Fatah Legislative Council. Tirawi is involved in directing and dispatching terrorists for attacks, including the suicide bomber who exploded himself at the Bialik Cafe in Tel Aviv in March 2002, killing an Israeli woman and injuring 29 others. Additionally, Tirawi recruited operatives for Tanzim, dealt in weaponry and supplied arms to Tanzim cells in Nablus.
