		PHOTO PINT-SIZED PAWN: Hussam Abdo was discovered yesterday as he tried to cross a West Bank checkpoint wearing explosives - in the hope of becoming a "martyr" to meet virgins in heaven.
		Abdo told investigators he was given the explosive belt by adults who said his "sexual difficulties" would be solved by the 72 virgins he would meet in paradise after he became a Muslim martyr.
		Abdo, described as 14 by Israelis and 16 by Palestinian sources, appeared much younger as he pulled off the shirt to reveal the gray bomb belt.

		A teenage Palestinian homicide bomber...14-year-old Hussam Abdo...wearing an 18-pound explosive belt, was caught in the nick of time...he was sent to blow up Israeli troops and himself - and was promised that his family would receive $20.
		Abdo was sent by a member of Arafat's Fatah faction.
		Abdo said, "the people who gave me the belt told me my mother would get 100 shekels and I would have no difficulties when I meet 72 virgins in paradise." These monsters used the teen's perceived "sexual difficulties," in order to lure him into their 'work'.

	BBC Interview with Hussam Abdo, Arab Suicide Bomber, Age 15, Who Didn't Push the Button...
		If Hussam Abdo had completed his mission he might have killed not only Israeli soldiers but also many of the 200-300 Arab civilians who were gathered there.
		Then two things happened: Hussam Abdo decided not to push the detonator; and Israeli troops sent a robot to Hussam with a pair of scissors and then patiently talked him through removing a vest filled with explosives and nails, instead of simply shooting him.
		Hussam's age (he was a young 15) and the manifest kindness of the Israeli troops simply did not fit the notion, fostered by the mass media and politicians, that Palestinian suicide terrorists are supposedly making a Political Statement because they have been Driven to Despair by supposedly Hateful Jewish people.
