JERUSALEM – Israeli forces today captured senior terrorists it accused of planning a suicide bombing but let them go on orders from Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's office, WND has learned.

Olmert recently granted the captured terrorists amnesty. His office ordered them released after angry calls from officials of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party, according to security sources.

Earlier today, the Israel Defense Forces thwarted a suicide attack reportedly meant for the center of Israel when it arrested a would-be bomber and two of his accomplices – Jamal and Ibrahim Ismail, who are brothers and senior leaders of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terrorist group.

The Brigades, the "military wing" of Fatah, took responsibility together with the Islamic Jihad terror organization for every suicide bombing in Israel the past three years.

In a gesture to Abbas, Olmert in July granted amnesty to 178 West Bank-based members of the Brigades. The Ismail brothers were on the amnesty list. The amnesty agreement required that the terrorists disarm, refrain from terror activities and restrict their movements for three months to the area in which they reside.

The IDF announced in a statement the Ismail brothers were collaborators in today's foiled suicide bombing.

The arrest infuriated Al Aqsa Brigades leaders.

Ala Senakreh, the chief of the Brigades in the West Bank, told WND if the Ismail brothers were not immediately released his group would break the amnesty list and attack Israel.

But after the arrest, the Ismails were released.

According to security sources, the release was ordered by Olmert after complaints by Abbas officials.

Asked for comment, a spokeswoman for the IDF confirmed the release but said the matter should be raised with Olmert's office.

David Baker, Olmert's spokesman, could not immediately provide a statement on the issue.

Today's episode is at least the third time in recent weeks Brigades members on Olmert's amnesty list were captured violating the amnesty agreement but then released after Palestinian officials complained.

Three weeks ago, a pardoned Brigades leader was caught smuggling weapons at Nablus' Harawa checkpoint. According to security sources, the leader was released on the spot after Palestinian Intelligence Chief Tafiq Tarawi called Shin Bet Security Services director Yuval Diskin to complain.

Last month, WND broke the story Israel captured an armed Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades member who was smuggling bullets from Jenin to Nablus but let him go after it was determined he was on a list of wanted gunmen granted amnesty by Olmert.

In spite of the amnesty agreement, the pardoned Brigades members reportedly have continued attacking Israel.

The IDF has arrested a number of pardoned Al Aqsa Brigades members carrying arms and planning terror attacks. In one instance earlier this week, Brigades member Fadi Al-Kene was nabbed after he was caught smuggling explosives in the West Bank city of Nablus, or biblical Shechem. Al-Kene was carrying a small pistol at the time of his arrest.

Also, earlier this week, WND quoted security sources stating Israel's Shin Bet Security Services passed information to Abed al-Razeq El-Yehia, the PA's minister of internal security, allegedly showing Brigades members granted amnesty have been communicating with Hezbollah – receiving instructions and funds from the Lebanese group.

Last Friday, three Israelis – two women and a man – were ambushed by Palestinian gunmen as they were driving between the West Bank Jewish communities of Karnei Shomron and Kidumim. According to Brigades sources, the attack was carried out by Brigades snipers.

The past few weeks, Brigades members, including those on Olmert's amnesty list, carried out a series of attacks against the IDF, according to Brigades sources. The attacks included shootings and the lobbing of grenades at IDF patrols.

Ayad Frehat, a Brigades leader in the West Bank city of Jenin, told WND last week his group in the West Bank would not disarm or cease attacks on the Jewish state in spite of an amnesty.

"We respect our leaders but will keep fighting until Israel withdraws completely from the West Bank. We are the resistance. We will keep fighting and never give up our weapons until Israel withdraws," said Frehat.

"Whenever the Israeli army acts in the West Bank, we will fight side-by-side with our brothers from the other resistance movements," he added.

Terrorists: Amnesty, shamnesty

According to statements by Palestinian officials and reports by the media, most Brigades terrorists on the amnesty list turned in their weapons in line with the deal. But calls to the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades members who received amnesty yielded a much different story.

Abu Yousuf, a senior leader of the Brigades in Ramallah, told WND most Brigades members turned in one of several pieces of weaponry they possess. He said most Brigades members have two to three guns, including one to two personal weapons and one assault rifle issued by the PA, since the majority of Brigades members are also members of Fatah's security forces.

"It's true Brigades members turned in one of their weapons as a symbolic act, but they kept the others," he said.

Yousuf is suspected of shooting at Israeli forces operating in Ramallah. He carried out a shooting attack in northern Samaria in December 2000 that killed Benyamin Kahane, leader of the nationalist Kahane Chai organization.

Ala Senakreh, overall chief of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades in the West Bank and one of the terrorists granted amnesty, told WND the one weapon he turned in to the PA is "easily accessible."

"It's close by and available to me anytime I need an additional weapon," he said.

Senakreh said aside from "protecting" himself from Israel, weapons were also needed for protection from rival clans and members of Palestinian families of suspected "Israeli collaborators" killed in recent years by the Brigades.

"We killed several collaborators, so now I am a walking target. What if one of the family members tries to take revenge?" he asked.

Kamal Ranam, chief of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades in Ramallah, laughing, said he is still armed.

Not all Brigades members even signed their amnesty deals.

Nasser Abu Aziz, the No. 2 leader of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades and Senakreh's main deputy, told WND he will not sign the agreement, calling the deal "an Israeli trick."

"I am sure this is part of an Israeli conspiracy against our fighters," Aziz said.
