According to the indictment, the terrorist found a knife at the entrance to the building where his aunt lived, and took it to carry out an attack.
He boarded a bus towards the checkpoint, where he planned to stab a soldier.
He sat in the back seat, and put the knife by his leg so he could pull it out quickly.
"Everyone who knew him just wanted to work with him."

There is no one who did not love him."
