(Ha'aretz) - Amos Harel The Shin Bet and IDF have arrested three members of a Hamas cell that planned to attack the motorcade of prime minister Ariel Sharon. The Bethlehem cell received orders from the Hamas leadership in Gaza. They also plotted to carry out a terror attack inside a synagogue and to carry out a rocket attack on an Israeli town. The cell detonated a roadside bomb on January 26 on the Tunnels Road between Jerusalem and Hebron. Security sources report they have prevented over 30 suicide missions since the last such attack two months ago in Tel Aviv.
