2 Israeli Arabs indicted for Jihad plot to kill pilots, scientists
By Jack Khoury, Haaretz Correspondent
Tags: Shfaram, Israel 

Prosecutors on Tuesday indicted two Israeli Arabs for a series of grave security offences including forming an Islamic Jihad cell and planning to assassinate Israeli pilots, scientists and university professors.

The pair are Shfaram residents Anis Sappori, 20, who studies communications at Bir Zeit University in Ramallah, and Hussam Khalil, 19, who studies electrical engineering in Jordan.

They reportedly attempted to contact Islamic Jihad operatives in Syria, with the intent of receiving money and expertise in order to help them carry out terror attacks in Israel.

The two suspects used the internet to find the names of physics professors at Israeli universities, and proposed using remote operated car bombs to kill them.

The two also planned to carry out attacks on Israeli pilots, telling investigators that they wanted to take revenge for Israel Air Force operations in the Gaza Strip.
