Particularly startling in the case is that two of the suspects come from Adora, a Judea community in which four people were killed in a terrorist infiltration in April. Maj. Ya'acov Uriel, the latest suspect arrested, whose hometown was not given, is suspected of stealing weapons from the IDF which eventually made their way to Palestinian hands, Israel Radio reports. According to the radio, more arrests are expected in the case for which six Israelisn are held on suspicion of supplying Palestinians with hundreds of thousands of bullets. Three suspects are from Adora and one from the settlement of Telem in the Hebron-area. One suspect is said to have charged Palestinian truckers NIS 150 -200 apiece to let their vehicles past IDF roadblocks, the radio said. According to reports Wednesday, Oded Molay, 21, of Adora, was ordered held another nine days by Jerusalem Magistrate's Court, the Itim news agency reports. On Sunday police arrested two pairs of brothers serving in the IDF, from Adora and Telem. The radio identified them as Ro'i and Sela Amar, brothers from Adora, Moshe and Nadav Cohen, brothers from Telem. A Palestinian of the Tanzim from Tarkumiya, a village near Adora and Telem, has also been arrested in the case. The Palestinian had a forged Israeli identity card, and is suspected to have been buying weapons from Israelis living in Judea and Samaria for the past three years. The Israeli brothers told police other soldiers sold them weapons. They reportedly admitted to selling arms to other Palestinians still being sought by police. Another suspect, Moshe Cohen of Adora was arrested on Sunday after 1,000 bullets were found in his car. Police found another 3,000 bullets and various military equipment in a warehouse in but did not find any weapons. Cohen and four other suspects were arrested. Several weeks ago, Hebron police received intelligence that four Israelis had been selling weapons to Palestinians in the Hebron area over a four-year period. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright 1995-2002 The Jerusalem Post - http://www.jpost.com/
