Terrorist recorded motive on phone before attack: “I’m not a spy, I never betrayed the homeland”

Terrorist Ahmed Erekat: "Of course your brother isn’t (i.e., I’m not) a spy and nothing like that. I’ve never betrayed the homeland in my life... I only feared one thing. No one was as usual. If I would have known- if everyone would have known what the problem was… When I began to speak I- my brothers and sisters were not involved in this."

 

Note: In the past, Palestinians who have been accused of working for Israel, have committed terror attacks to clear their names.

 

The terrorist’s video was found on his phone after his death.
