Mother of 7 gets 35 years for smuggling bomb-belt
Latifa Abu Diran, 40, a mother of seven from the Balata refugee camp, was sentenced to 35 years in prison by the Samaria Military Court for her role in transporting explosives that were to have been used in a suicide bombing in Rosh Ha'ayin.

Details of the Sunday sentencing were released by the army on Monday. Abu Diran agreed to transfer an explosives belt on behalf of the Aksa Martyrs Brigades in Nablus, noting that she would not be subject to searches by soldiers at roadblocks.

She was arrested in her home last December. The would-be suicide bomber and his driver were arrested the same night, after they failed to carry out the attack because of the presence of security forces in the area.

Abu Diran met with those who planned the attack and recruited the suicide bomber. She agreed to smuggle the explosives to a meeting point near Kafr Kasim from which the suicide bomber and his driver were to continue on to Rosh Ha'ayin.

In some countries in the ME, she would get the death penalty.

1. And....
The Jews who procured the bombs that were put under a Knesset members car and also procured the bombs used against civilians in Mosques in Haifa got.....?

Oh that's right - nothing so far.

And they're being tried in a civilian court, with lawyers - not the sham that is the Samaria military court (18 month sentences for stone-throwing, 10 years+ for "membership of a terrorist organisation").

As an aside, Jews who are members of "terrorist organisations" like Kach also get zero as well. Or maybe a little bit of detention and then set on their merry way.
