Thread Name: Counter-Terrorism Measures
Subject: RE: Counter-Terrorism Measures
This is not really relevant to sucicide attacks, but it is in regards to terrorism in general. I have been told that the Israelies have a "no hostage' policy. In other words, if a plane on the ground, bus, train, etc. is hijacked, it is immediately stormed without any attempt at negotiation. I have also been told that there have been no Israelis taken hostage (in Israel) in decades. Is this true. If so, does anyone know the Israeli policy about planes in the air?
