Al-Qaeda-Linked Group Suspected in Rocket Fire on Northern Israel
[Jerusalem Post] Yaakov Katz - Palestinian terror groups affiliated with al-Qaeda are the prime suspects in the firing of two Katyusha rockets into the northern town of Shlomi early Tuesday. The 107mm Katyushas appeared to have been fired from the hills near the southern Lebanese village of Labouna. Israeli defense officials, as well as a top commander in UNIFIL, said the most likely culprit was a Palestinian terror group such as Fatah al-Islam. The officials said the attack was likely timed to coincide with Bush's visit to Israel.
