Wave of Terror Attacks in Israel
An Israeli woman slashed to death by Palestinian terrorist on minibus near Petach Tikva east of Tel Aviv Sunday morning. He badly cut five more passengers riding in the bus before he was overcome. The killer is from a village near West Bank town of Nablus. When handcuffed by police he recited Quran passages and refused to answer questions.A new wave of Palestinian terror is cresting with 12 suicide bombers intercepted in last few days and number of terror alerts rising to 50 a week. Shin Beit director Yuval Diskin released these figures to the government at its weekly Sunday session in Jerusalem. Acting PM Olmert announced his decision to release tax revenues totaling quarter of a million shekels ($50m) to the Palestinian Authority despite the Hamas election victory. He also welcomed the IAEA resolution referring Irans nuclear violations to the UN Security Council. Olmert rejected demands for a state panel to investigate police conduct in last week's excessively violent clash at Amona between police and anti-evacuation protesters. More than 200 people were injured, three quarters of them civilians. Posted by: lotp 2006-02-05 |
