Female would-be suicide bomber gets 3 years in jail

[drdon326]

A Palestinian woman who planned to carry out a suicide bombing in 2002, but changed her mind on the way, was sentenced by an Israel Defense Forces tribunal Thursday to three years in prison.

The woman, Arin Ahmed, was a student from the West Bank village of Beit Sahur, near Bethlehem, before setting out to carry out a terror attack in Rishon Letzion.

She traveled from Bethlehem to Rishon Letzion in May 2002 with an explosive device strapped to her body and was planning to carry out a double suicide bombing, along with a second bomber traveling with her.

On the way to Rishon Letzion, southeast of Tel Aviv, Ahmed decided not to carry out the attack and returned to Bethlehem. Her bombing partner, however, continued as planned and blew himself up in the center of a crowded pedestrian district, killing two people and wounding 41.
