I can only assume there is a gag order going on right now because this afternoon's events should still be on the news.

And actually it was on the internet news, but is now gone.

I spent some 3 hours today stuck on the Jerusalem-Tel Aviv highway as police closed it down while searching for a terrorist.

I called traffic information (*955) and they announced the police were looking for a suspicious car – which explained the low flying helicopters overhead.

I called Jameel for more info which he found out on the internet that the police were looking for a taxi from Beit Lechem which may have had a bomb or suicide bomber in it.

Eventually the news site announced that 2 Arabs were arrested.

JerusalemCop called me to inform me that unusually heavily armed police were pulling over cars with Arabs inside at the entrance to Jerusalem, and then having them strip down in the street and lie on the ground while their cars underwent a search.

Since everyone saw all this, it was announced publicly at some point, and the news reported it for at least 1 hour, I ask, what is the point of shutting the barn door after the horses escaped.
