Maariv correspondents Avi Ashkenazi and Yuval Goren reported in today's
edition that Israeli Border Police forces with the assistance of vehicle
tracking from Ituran, detained a senior police officer in the PA, a relative
of Marwan Barghouti, as he was driving his family to a wedding in an Israeli
2008 Mitsubishi Pajero that had been stolen a week earlier in Caesarea.

The PA police officer had been on the wanted list of the ISS (Shabak) for a
long time.

"The jeep that was stolen in Caesarea was transferred to Ramallah and
upgraded and turned into a Palestinian police car," said the representative
from Ituran. "They put on PA Police license plates, installed a
communications system, a siren and blue [police] lights."
