A senior intelligence officer of the Palestinian Authority has been arrested on suspicion of involvement in the abduction of an Israeli soldier near Tarqumiya about a week ago, according to an unverified report circulating Thursday evening.
The arrest follows an earlier Zioneer report that a Tarqumiya resident was detained earlier Thursday evening on the same suspicion. The current report names the suspect as a high-ranking intelligence officer in the PA's security apparatus in the Hebron district. The soldier was reportedly located in the Tarqumiya area. Details remain unconfirmed by official sources, and the investigation is ongoing. A later development in the same thread links the suspect to the same kidnapping event reported earlier.
