An Explosives Laboratory Exposed in a Force 17 Building in Ramallah
IDF Spokesperson 11 June 2002

An explosive laboratory was exposed today by an IDF force in a Force 17
building in the center of Ramallah.

In the laboratory, the force found 10 powerful explosive charges in
different stages of production, alongside bags of TATP explosive, documents
and uniforms.

Border Police sappers detonated the charges in a controlled manner.

IDF forces continue operating in the city.

This is another proof of the involvement of Force 17, which is entrusted
with Arafat's security, in terror activity against Israeli civilians and IDF
soldiers.
