Yet when they said \u2018three dead,\u2019 I said: \u2018Allah be praised\u2019\u2026 Two minutes later, they said on the radio that the number had increased to five. I wanted to hide my smile, but I just couldn\u2019t. Allah be praised, it was great. As the number of dead kept increasing, the passengers were applauding. They didn\u2019t even know that I was among them. On the way back, we passed a Palestinian police checkpoint, and the policemen were laughing. One of them stuck his head in and said: \u2018Congratulations to us all.\u2019 Everybody was happy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Days after arriving in Jordan when Israel released her from prison ad part of the Gilad Shalit deal, Tamimi was honored at the Jordanian Law Court building. Asked if she would take the same action in a bombing again, she answered, \u2018Asked in an interview at the time whether, if she could \u201cgo back in time,\u201d she would carry out such a large-scale attack, she&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.memri.org\/tv\/released-terrorist-ahlam-tamimi-sentenced-16-life-terms-prison-takes-pride-number-casualties-she\">replied<\/a>: \u201cOf course. I do not regret what happened. Absolutely not. This is the path. I dedicated myself to jihad for the sake of Allah, and Allah granted me success. You know how many casualties there were. This was made possible by Allah. Do you want me to denounce what I did? That\u2019s out of the question. I would do it again today, and in the same manner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tamimi bragged later in an interview:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"8\">\n<p><em>I was a journalism student in the political scient track and I was working in the media and the press. This allowed me to become a member of the Palestinian Journalists Union. The union card enabled me to enter Jerusalem in order to conduct interviews.

This made them ask me to join the Izz Al-Din Al-qassam Brigrades and I immediately accepted. \u2026&nbsp;I was assigned three missions. The first mission was to spot locations suitable for Jihadi operations. I would go to Jerusalem and walk around in the areas frequented by the Zionists. \u2026 I would go around these areas, and as part of my first mission, I would surveille suitable locations, such as shops, malls, schools, and restaurants, any suitable target for a Jihadi operation. I would submit reports to the cell commander and this report would be studied statistically: How many Israelis enter a certain location in one hour? <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I would sit there, look at my watch, and count the number of people who entered the place in an hour. I would calculate it and report that if the operation were to take place at a certain hour, the number of Israeli casualties would be at least 30 and could even reach 50 because during this specific hour, 70 Israelis entered the place. I would also check what the most suitable hours were. For example, a restaurant is frequented by Zionists mostly during lunch time, a school in the morning. There was an optimal time to carry the Jihadi operation and I would write all of this in the report which I sent to the cell commander.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"12.440111420613\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Palestinian terrorist Ahlam Tamimi discusses how she used her identity as a \u201cjournalist\u201d to gather information for organizing the Sbarro pizzeria suicide bombing carried out on this day in 2001.<\/p>\n<p>15 Israelis (8 children) were murdered, 130 wounded<\/p>\n<p>Sick<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4qxduAPC4z\">pic.twitter.com\/4qxduAPC4z<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Emily Schrader \u2013 \u05d0\u05de\u05d9\u05dc\u05d9 \u05e9\u05e8\u05d9\u05d9\u05d3\u05e8 (@emilykschrader) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/emilykschrader\/status\/1424739918119641089?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 9, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>There is still a movement to bring Tamimi to justice:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"9.7609329446064\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The sincere thanks of Malki Roth&#8217;s family go to the leadership of the Rabbinical Alliance of America for their call to US action over <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Jordan?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Jordan<\/a>&#8216;s ongoing and unconscionable harboring of the woman who calls the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Sbarro?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Sbarro<\/a> massacre, 20 years ago today, &#8220;my operation&#8221;. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RabbinicalOf?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@RabbinicalOf<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/L26rPD1hFc\">https:\/\/t.co\/L26rPD1hFc<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Frimet Roth (@FrimetRoth) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FrimetRoth\/status\/1424211332598059013?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 8, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In March 2019, Congressman Scott Perry (R-PA) <a href=\"https:\/\/perry.house.gov\/news\/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=398730\">called<\/a> for the extradition of Al-Tamimi from Jordan to the United States.
