17-year-old Palestinian held for planning to stab prison guard
A 17-year-old Palestinian girl from Bethlehem is caught Monday trying to smuggle a knife past a West Bank checkpoint.
The knife is reportedly found in her backpack as she attempts to pass the Meitar checkpoint south of Hebron.
After initially insisting she had forgotten it was there, she tells investigators she planned to use it to attack a guard at Eshel Prison, where her brother is imprisoned.
Police place the girl under arrest.
