Meanwhile near the West Bank city of Nablus, Israeli soldiers stopped a 14-year-old Wednesday wearing a vest of explosives. Soldiers then persuaded the boy to help them dismantle the bomb. After the explosives were detonated the Israeli army paraded the boy in the front of the media. Images of the incident were broadcast around the world. The New York Times took the unusual step of dedicating one-third of its front page to publishing five color photos of the incident. It marked the second time in about a week a Palestinian child was found trying to transport explosives across a checkpoint.
