Israel Foils Suicide Bomber Attack in Jerusalem, Arrests Dozens of Hamas Terrorists
(Ha'aretz) Anshel Pfeffer - The Israel Security Agency foiled a suicide terrorist attack set to occur on August 21 in the Pisgat Ze'ev neighborhood in Jerusalem, it emerged Wednesday. An explosive belt was seized only 24 hours before the planned attack, after it was already smuggled into Jerusalem. Dozens of Hamas militants operating in 13 separate cells were arrested. The main cell based in Hebron was in touch with Hamas headquarters in Syria. The same cell was responsible for the March 23 attack at a bus station in Jerusalem where a British tourist was killed and 47 other people were injured.
