Hamas leader's wife to "shahid" recruiter: not my son

Aaron Lerner Date: 1 August 2002

This afternoon Israel Radio announced that it will broadcast this evening an
intercepted telephone conversation between the wife of Gaza Hamas leader Abd
Aziz Rantisi and a suicide bomb recruiter on Israel's new "Middle East" Arab
language satelite channel.

In the recording of the conversation that was made by Palestinian security
services and found by the IDF in Arafat's Ramallah offices, Rantisi's wife
opposes the recruiter's proposal that she allow her son to be a suicide
bomber.
