Hamas accused of recruiting woman to teach bombmaking

ALI DARAGHMEH
IN TULKAREM, WEST BANK


HAMAS' first female bombmaker is a 22-year-old university graduate who was recruited in Gaza and sent to the West Bank to teach others to assemble explosives, Israeli security officials said yesterday.

Hamas countered by insisting that it is not promoting women into central roles, while relatives of Samar Sabih, the suspected bombmaker, said the newlywed rarely left home and had no contact with militants.


Sabih was detained at her home in the West Bank town of Tulkarem in late August in a night-time raid. Israel's Shin Bet security service announced her arrest late on Monday, after lifting a gagging order.

Shin Bet said Sabih was recruited by Hamas in Gaza's Jebaliya refugee camp, where she grew up, and was taught to build bombs.
