GSS captures terrorist cell overseen by Arafat's deputy

The General Security Service recently
captured a Palestine Liberation Front terrorist
cell responsible for the murder of 18-year-old
Jerusalem youth Yuri Gushchin four months
ago, security forces announced today.

The 15-member cell operated in the Ramallah
and Jenin areas, and was trained in Iraq,
according to security sources.

The cell members told investigators they
intended to carry out terrorist attacks in Tel
Aviv, Jerusalem, and Ben-Gurion International
Airport.

They said they were responsible for a
roadside bomb at Haifa's checkpost junction,
in which three women and two policemen
were wounded.

According to the terrorists, they were
overseen by Palestinian Authority Chairman
Yasser Arafat's deputy, Mahmoud Abbas.

They said they regularly used vehicles
belonging to senior PA officials to smuggle
weapons and ammunition from Jordan into
PA-controlled areas, Army Radio reported.
