(Ynet News) Efrat Weiss - Israeli security authorities have foiled an Islamic Jihad double suicide bombing in Jerusalem. During interrogation, the terrorists confessed that they attempted to dispatch two suicide bombers from the northern West Bank on two separate occasions this week, and a third attempt was scheduled for Thursday. Iyad Fuajara, 27, from Bethlehem, revealed that he was to lead suicide bombers into Jerusalem's Ramot neighborhood in order to carry out an attack "in a bus, synagogue, or coffee shop." Security officials said the latest terror plot demonstrates Islamic Jihad's unwillingness to submit to intra-Palestinian truce understandings and continued attempts to strike at targets inside Israel.
