UK embassy: Man threatens suicide
Large police and Magen David Adom teams were dispatched to the British Embassy in Tel Aviv Thursday noon. Police reported that Nadim Injahz, a 28-year-old Palestinian collaborator from Ramallah, has entered the embassy's complex carrying a gun and threatening to hurt himself if he is not granted political asylum in Britain.
Nadim Injahz has been homeless for eight years. In Ramallah, Tanzim are after him, and he is illegal resident in Israel. He just wants to go home, but his compatriots have not forgiven him for collaborating with Israel. ‘They told me that murdering settlers is the only way I can restore my honor – and the truth is at this point I have nothing to lose’
Injahz demanded to be provided with a plane that will fly him from the Sdeh Dov airport in town to Europe.
An embassy employee told Ynet that Injahz was detected immediately upon entering the compound, and described him as a short and thin man. He added that the embassy's security guards have asked their superiors whether they should try and subdue the man themselves, but were ordered to leave the handling of the matter to the Israeli police.
Special elite units and dozens of policemen arrived at the place. A police helicopter is circling over the area.
