Qassam Brigades Commander Muhammad Daf recounts arrest, interrogations and 1989 soldier abduction schemes In statements broadcast on Al-Jazeera's "What's Hidden Greater" program on Friday evening, Daif said he was arrested in 1989 and did not confess during the interrogation or before the military court, despite pressure from five or six investigators working the rounds. After his release from prison, according to him, he and his friends planned to kidnap a soldier and take his weapon before killing him, with the first step being the kidnapping of Alon Karbani in Khan Yunis. He also said that he was born in 1965 in Khan Yunis and studied biology at the university.
