ISMAILIA, Egypt, March 19 (Reuters) - Egyptian security sources said on Monday a suspected suicide bomber was arrested after offering to donate a kidney to a sick man, and reportedly saying he no longer needed it because he planned to blow himself up. The sources said the man was a Palestinian student at Cairo's al-Azhar University, a prestigious institute of Sunni Islamic learning, and was awaiting orders to sneak into Israel to stage the attack. They said the man, identified as Salah Adnan Saleh, was arrested on Friday in the Sinai border town of al-Arish and he was suspected of plotting a suicide attack in Israel on orders from the militant group Hamas. The man was not found to be in possession of weapons or explosives, the sources said.
