Now released for publication: On the 19th of November 2007, an Israeli
civilian, Ido Zoldan, was killed in a shooting terror attack near the
Israeli community of Qedumim. The next day, in a joint IDF and ISA activity,
the forces arrested two suspects in the village of Kadum, located near the
scene of the terror attack.

The two terrorists were Dafar Baram, a member of Fatah, and a member of the
Palestinian national security forces in Ramallah and Abdullah Baram, both 22
years old and residents of the village of Kadum. The two admitted during
questioning that they were responsible for the attack and even handed over
the weapons that they used. They also revealed that they had waited at the
side of the road for a passing vehicle. When they had identified a passing
Israeli vehicle, they gave chase, overtook it and opened fire on it. After
the attack they escaped to their village.
