Israeli Security Forces Nab Two Palestinian Terror Cells in Jerusalem
[Ha'aretz] Jonathan Lis - The Shin Bet security service and the police last week arrested members of two Palestinian terror cells operating in Jerusalem, one linked to Hamas and the other to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Members of the cells carried out a number of attacks including opening fire and hurling explosives at Israeli military and civilian cars in the Jerusalem area. The cells produced dozens of pipe bombs, based on information gathered from the Internet. Members of the Hamas cell were recruited by a 40-year-old clergyman from a Bethlehem mosque. During a search of the terror cell members' houses, security forces found materials for creating explosives, IDF uniforms, rifles, and an ax.
