Palestinian charged with suspected arms trafficking

An indictment has been filed against Husam Ashab, 19, from Qalandia, for arms trafficking. There has been at least one instance in which arms the suspect sold were used in a terror attack.

One of the weapons he allegedly sold was used in a shooting attack against passangers on a bus in Ramot Junction, and then in another shooting attack against police at a light rail stop.

Ashab himself shot at security forces as they were demolishing the house of a known terrorist in Qalandia Refugee Camp.
