This Week

March 22, 2002

This week on NOW: An exclusive interview with Marwan Zaloum. Zaloum personally selects and trains suicide bombers who have been carrying out attacks against Israeli soldiers and civilians. A lifelong militant, Zaloum is currently on Israel’s list of most wanted terrorists, and is committed to ending the Israeli occupation. Zaloum states, "Certainly, the goal of this operation is to destroy the morale of the Israeli soldier, and to destroy what is in the mind of the Israeli soldier — that it is possible for the tank or the plane or the rifle or the intelligence services or the security forces to protect him."
