Suicide Attack in Israel Thwarted

BACKGROUND INFORMATION 13 May 2004
[IMRA: "Tanzim" is the illegal militia of Yasser Arafat's Fatah]

Attributed to "security sources"[Distributed by IDF Spokesperson's Office]

Suicide bombing in central Israel thwarted as two Tanzim terrorists were
arrested in Nablus.

The two were operating under direction of Hizbullah.

Murad Utman Muhamed Fadel, born in 1985, resident of the Balata refugee camp
and Muhamed Abdulla Abid, born in 1986, resident of Askar refugee camp, were
engaged in recent days in carrying out a suicide attack in Israel.

The two terrorists are funded and directed by Hizbullah terrorists in
Lebanon.

Prior information led IDF and GSS forces to Fadel, who was in charge of the
suicide attack, and to Abid, who intended to be the suicide bomber. The two
were arrested earlier this morning.

In their investigation the two admitted the planning of the suicide attack
and even pointed out that they had tried to carry out the attack last
Tuesday (11/05/04): The two arrived at the Hawara checkpoint, by a taxi and
then by foot, and were then taken by a driver to Rantis. On their way, they
were detained by an IDF force near Aqrabe and did not manage to cross, and
then decided to hide the explosive belt and return to Nablus.

Following the arrests the two led GSS forces and sappers to the explosive
bag, containing 20 kgs of explosives, which was then detonated.

The two admitted that Abid was to take taxis from Rantis to the Gush Dan
area and to detonate himself in the first restaurant or supermarket he came
across.
