Last update - 18:35 02/06/2008 Three Israeli Arabs charged with planning to kidnap, kill soldier By Yuval Azoulay, Haaretz Correspondent and Haaretz Service Tags: Shin Bet security service  The Shin Bet security service and the police arrested three Israeli Arabs over the course of the last three weeks on suspicion that they planned to kidnap an Israel Defense Forces soldier, murder him and demand the release of Palestinian prisoners in exchange for the body. The men, all residents of Lod, are Amir Nafar, 20, who studies sharia at a Jordanian university, Iman Kadura, 26, and Yassin Hinawi, 19. I Advertisement ndictments were filed against the three suspects at the Petah Tikva District Court on Monday. The suspects, activists in the Islamic movement, allegedly planned to use a knife and a gun to commit the murder, after which they would videotape the soldier and bury him in an undisclosed location. According to the indictment, the suspects then planned to give the soldier's identification card to an accomplice whose identity is as yet unknown. The indictment reveals that last December, during the Eid al-Adha holiday, Amir Nafar invited his co-conspirators to a secret meeting at the Great Mosque in Lod. Nafar voiced his support there for the idea of jihad (holy war) and said that it was every Muslim's duty to uphold the notion of jihad against infidels. According to the indictment, after Kadura and Hinawi expressed their support for jihad, Nafar proposed that they perpetrate the aforementioned abduction and murder. Kadura agreed and began to save money for the terrorist attack, while Hinawi did not respond to the proposal. The method planned for the kidnapping was not outlined in the indictment. Nafar and Kadura will be charged with aiding an enemy in wartime and criminal conspiracy. Hinawi will be charged with failing to report a crime.
