Palestinian 'threatens to kill Jews as he takes hostages at Turkish embassy'



An armed Palestinian man held two hostages at the Turkish embassy in Tel
Aviv on Tuesday, threatening to "kill any Jews" and demanding political
asylum before he was shot by security guards.

Nadim Injaz, a resident of the West Bank city of Ramallah, threatened to
blow up the building if he was not allowed to leave Israel, according to a
recording played on Israeli radio. 

In a call to Channel 2 TV, a man the station identified as the attacker
said: "If they don't let me leave this country now I will burn down the
whole building. I will burn everything." 

 

He said he was demanding asylum in Turkey and protection from "these
murderers the Zionists, the murdering Jews". At the same time, he said that
Palestinian leaders, including Mahmoud Abbas, "should die." 

He was later shot and wounded by security guards at the embassy, Turkish
officials said. Seven hours after he forced his way into the building, the
attacker was escorted out and bundled into an Israeli ambulance. 

A lawyer told Israel Radio that the hostages, the consul and his wife, had
escaped. It was not clear whether they escaped before or after the man was
shot. 

Mr Injaz has claimed that he used to work as a collaborator with the Shin
Bet Israeli intelligence agency. He sought asylum at the British embassy in
Tel Avivi in 2006. 

Israeli officials have denied his story. 

Israeli police said Mr Injaz was recently released from prison after serving
time for his previous embassy attack. They said at that time that he was an
informer and a criminal with a record of property and drug offenses who had
encountered financial and legal troubles. 

The incident appears not to be related to the recent tension between Israel
and Turkey following the May 31 Israeli naval commando raid on a Gaza-bound
aid flotilla in which 9 Turkish activists were killed. 

Mr Injaz told Israeli reporters over recent days that he had been asked by
the Israelis a number of years ago to assassinate Marwan Barghouti, a
prominent Palestinian activist who headed the Fatah Tanzim organisation. 

He has claimed that the Israelis tried to kill him after he refused to
assassinate Barghouti. 

Mr Injaz is currently in Israel without a visa and he has said he fears for
his life if he is deported to the West Bank by Israel. 

Israeli foreign ministry officials were in contact with Turkish embassy
staff on Tuesday night in an effort to end the affair. Israeli anti-terror
units were also positioned outside the embassy building, and police sealed
off the area
