PM: Terrorist Attack Only Brings Unilateral Steps Closer

(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - "We are still committed to the road map and will try to implement it," a senior official in the Prime Minister's Office said. "But there is no doubt that these types of attacks, the continuous instigation, the lack of any preventive action, and the fact that Arafat heads the PA security apparatus and keeps them from taking any action will bring us closer to the security steps needed to ensure the security of our citizens." The official said that just as 130 suicide bombers over the last three years led to the construction of the security fence, and the failure to stop arms smuggling tunnels in Rafah leads to continuous IDF action there, the failure of the PA to take any action against the terrorist infrastructure "will bring them closer to what they want to avoid - Sharon's unilateral steps." Since the last suicide attack at Maxim restaurant in Haifa on Oct. 4, there have been over 300 terror attacks of various types, the official said. In addition, there have been some 40 to 50 terror warnings a week. "There has been no lull or quiet, just outstanding success by the security services in preventing the attacks," he said.
