Israeli police impersonate reporters to trap wanted Palestinian
Israeli police disguised themselves as a TV news crew in order to arrest a wanted Palestinian,
provoking an outcry from critics who said the sting threatened to put the lives of news people at risk.
Police said the target of the operation was Nadim Injaz, a Palestinian man who had been wanted for making unspecified threats. Last year, Injaz burst into the British Embassy in Tel
Aviv, claimed to have a gun, demanded political asylum and threatened suicide. Although the weapon turned out to be plastic, Injaz was convicted on charges related to the embassy storming and spent several months in prison before being released a few weeks ago. (AP)
