㉓ Reviewed in the sweep
Hussam Abdo is a Palestinian who, at fourteen, attempted a suicide bombing at the Hawara Checkpoint in 2004 with explosives strapped to his body. Through 2005 the opening noted he may belong to al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, listed by the US Department of State as a terrorist group, which claimed responsibility for the attack. Today the opening describes the attempted bombing but not the group's US terrorist designation, though the word terror survives three times in the body. A reader arriving now learns the mechanics of the attempted attack and not that the US government designated the group behind it a terrorist organization.
