Hezbollah sympathisers were arrested before they could carry out poison plot

In this disgusting news report, we learn that 2 Fatah collaborators who also side with Hezbollah were thankfully arrested before they could work on a plot to poison customers at a resturant they worked at:
Two Arabs from Nablus, Ahab Abu Riyal and Anas Salum, were arrested by Israeli Shin Bet officers last month before they could carry out their mission to poison Israelis on behalf of Hizballah. They are members of the Fatah-al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, part of Mahmoud Abbas' "moderate" Fatah organization.

The cell was led by two wanted terrorists, Hani Kabi and Husni Tsalag.

They were hired as kitchen workers by the Grill Express restaurant near the Diamond Exchange in Ramat Gan, apparently after presenting Israeli-issued IDs allowing them to work in the country. Their orders were to dump a slow-acting colorless, tasteless and odorless poison in the food of customers. It would take effect after four hours, enough time to murder a large number of Israeli diners. The Shin Bet did not identify the substance.

One of the two men was detained on March 19, just days before the mission date. The second was picked up at the home of an Israeli Arab friend in Jaffa.

Israeli security forces consider poisoning diners at restaurants or cafes to be a "strategic attack". In the past, terror organizations have tried repeatedly to recruit Palestinian cooks and waiters to poison food at Israeli restaurants. Police note that the plan is a relatively easy means of carrying out a mass attack, as there is no need to smuggle sophisticated weapons into Israel and restaurant employees have free access to the attack site.
Businesses like resturants are going to have to consider the dangers of hiring people who adhere to Islam, since they could serve as agents who'd endanger the lives of their customers.

I am always skeptical of terrorist arrests, because the capabilities are never clear. What I see here are two people who wanted to do some poisoning - but were they serious terrorists, or wannabes without any capability? I dont see any evidence that they had access to a suitable poison, or even decided which one to use. Did they have a plan, or just idle chatter and an exchanging of idea with a few connections?

If they had not been caught, would they have been able to kill anyone at all?

We kuffar pigs and monkeys prefer dainty and tasty delicacies, and pizza, Miss Ellah. We might be sub specious in comparison to you, but we have a wide variety of things we enjoy eating, and I can assure you madame, we don't include shit and other fecal matter on our plates or palates. In fact, we even have LAWS against that sort of thing. So I don't know what kind of half assed restaurant your Pakistinian friends are working in, but when the barkeep asks you what your poison is, it isn't SLOW acting KOOL-AID.

My dear Suricou, where you ask if they'd not been caught, would they have been able to kill anyone at all. Probably, but we will be certain to find out once they are released as part of a "peace" negotiation into PA police custody.

I know that restaurant/grill (Beneath the Diamond Centre in Ramat Gan).

The owners knew full-well that they were hiring illegals....as do most of the other joints in that area. As is often the case, "Greed" won out over "Diligence".

Inshallah! Such things could never happen here!
