Armed Palestinian captured in British embassy

[oberliner]

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - A Palestinian who broke into the British embassy's car park in Tel Aviv demanding asylum was captured by Israeli police on Thursday after a six-hour standoff in which he had threatened to shoot himself.

Israel's Channel 10 television reported that Nadim Injaz, a Palestinian who said he had been shunned by Israel and his own people after informing for the Jewish state, was found to have been carrying a toy pistol.

Police in battle gear and armed with assault rifles stormed the embassy's fenced parking lot. No shots could be heard in the television broadcast. A British Foreign Office spokesman in London confirmed the man's capture.

After he climbed over the car park's fence, Injaz threatened in a telephone call broadcast live on Channel 2 television to kill himself unless his demand for sanctuary was met.

2. If that story is true, then collaboration with Israel is being shown

by Israel to be a bad idea. If collaborators don't get Israeli identity papers, then where are they supposed to live?
