‘Another bomber infiltrated, ready for attack’

February 5, 2008

TEL AVIV – In addition to two bombers involved in today’s suicide attack in Israel, one more suicide bomber has infiltrated the Jewish state with explosives and is poised to carry out an imminent attack, according to senior terrorist sources speaking to WND.

“There are three bombers who made it inside Israel. The third is inside. We won’t say where, but he has explosives, and we lost contact with him,” said a senior terrorist source, speaking from the Gaza Strip.

Earlier today, the military wing of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah organization carried out a suicide bombing in the Israeli town of Dimona, killing a woman and injuring 11 others, including at least one person in critical condition

Negev Police Chief Yossi Porianta told reporters a second suicide bomber was set to detonate his explosives, but he was knocked away by the blast of the first bomb. Upon noticing the second bomber, security forces at the scene shot him at point blank.

One of the bombers was identified as Mussa Arafat, a Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine terrorist from the Gaza city of Khan Younis. The second bomber was Lawai Lawani, an Al Aqsa Brigades member from Gaza’s Sabra neighborhood.

Terrorist sources speaking to WND from Gaza said the third bomber is still inside Israel with his suicide belt.

Israeli security sources said they commenced a search for a third bomber but cautioned in the past terrorists have lied while claiming of more bombers inside Israel.

Dimona is the site of Israel’s nuclear reactor. The explosion took place about four miles from the reactor site. The area is located not far from Israel’s border with Egypt.

The suicide bombers had crossed into Israel from Egypt after Gaza-based militants 12 days ago blew up the Gaza-Egypt border wall, allowing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to stream into the Egyptian Sinai desert. Israel has a long border with Egypt, much of which is unprotected.

Yuval Diskin, chief of Israel’s Shin Bet Security Services, warned during a speech to the Knesset yesterday that some Palestinian terrorists who crossed into the Egyptian Sinai desert the past two weeks relocated themselves to form terror cells in strategic areas bordering Egypt.

The Shin Bet chief said Israeli intelligence is aware of at least 20 specific locations at the Israel-Egypt border currently in use by Palestinian terrorists in attempts to infiltrate the Jewish state to carry out attacks. He said security has been boosted at those locations, but he stressed the need for Israel to immediate construct a security fence along the entire Israel-Egypt border.
