Shin Bet security service arrests Fatah terror cell in Hebron By Amos Harel, Jalal Bana and Daniel Sobelman, Ha'aretz Correspondents Israeli security forces recently detained three members of a Hebron-based Fatah terror cell. The suspects planned a number of terror strikes, including a car bomb attack near Hebron's Cave of Patriarchs, Shin Bet security service officials said Tuesday. The Shin Bet disclosure came on a day of relatively light violence on the West Bank and Gaza Strip. One Palestinian woman was killed in Tul Karm Tuesday night, and Palestinian Authority spokesman claimed that she was shot inside her home. No Israelis were hurt Tuesday in gunfire incidents. Interrogation of the three Hebron cell suspects has established that they planned to use a car resembling vehicles used by the members of the observers' force in Hebron, called the Temporary International Protection of Hebron (TIPH), and to park the car near the Cave of Patriarchs. The cell members forged TIPH stickers for this purpose. The suspects planned to detonate the car bomb at a moment when a large number of Jewish worshipers were gathered at the Cave, the Shin Bet sources said. The cell members also planned to perpetrate terror strikes within the Green Line, at sites such as the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and French Hill, the sources add. The Israel Defense Forces Tuesday released information obtained by interrogating Palestinians who were arrested during an operation in Beit Rima, a village near Ramallah, on October 23. Five Palestinians were killed in the raid. The IDF claims that the suspects from Beit Rima were involved in a number of gunfire attacks in the Ramallah area, including an incident in which an Israeli driver was wounded near the Dir Abu-Meshal village, on September 5. Although the Beit Rima operation was carried out with the aim of seizing suspects from a Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine cell responsible for last month's assassination of Minister Rehavam Ze'evi, three of the suspects belong to Fatah, and one is from the PA's national security forces. A Palestinian mother of five, Wafa Nasif, 29, was shot and killed Tuesday night by IDF gunfire in Tul Karm. The shooting incident occurred near a post which the IDF set up during its incursion into Palestinian-controlled "A" areas of the West Bank city. Palestinian Authority officials claimed Tuesday night that Nasif was in her home when IDF bullets mortally wounded her. A large mine was detonated Tuesday in an attack against an IDF tank near the Kfar Darom settlement in the Gaza Strip. Nobody was injured by the blast. After the explosion, IDF soldiers briefly entered "A" areas in Dir al-Balah, in pursuit of suspects in the bomb attack. No suspects were detained. Shots were fired Tuesday at an Israeli truck in the Gilboa region, near Kibbutz Meirav; nobody was injured in this attack. The truck driver reported that bullets were fired from a white vehicle, which then fled in the direction of nearby Palestinian-controlled villages. The Gilboa area has been the scene of a number of attacks in recent months. While there were relatively few gunfire attacks in the territories Tuesday, incidents were reported in Jenin, near Nablus and outside of Ramallah.

Cairo not bound by US lists of terrorist organizations' CAIRO: US lists of "terrorist organisations" only concern the United States and are not legally binding on Cairo, Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Maher said in an interview published Tuesday. "These lists are American and only concern the United States," Maher said in an interview with the Arabic-language daily Asharq Al-Awsat. "In Egypt, we are bound by the decisions of the (UN) Security Council (on terrorist groups), which is still studying the means of implementation" of anti-terrorist moves, Maher added. "The point of view of the United States vis-a-vis certain organizations concerns only them and no one else," said Maher. On November 2, the United States published an updated list of 88 individuals and groups, including Palestinian radicals, whose assets were ordered frozen as part of the US-led war on terrorism. Maher was responding to a question on where Egypt stood with respect to the lists. On October 28, the Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution proposed by the United States calling for sanctions against states providing terrorist networks with financial or logistical support.

--If the civilized world is going to survive the Islamic terrorist horror that is growing out of the Muslim worlds, we are going to have to stay united against the terrorists, and those that support and harbor them. -- aren't your 'heroic kla freedom fighters' islamic? what should nato do with the kla now? i think nato should dismantle the kla, by force if necessary... something about 'securing the flank.' macedonia should be left alone. through there, nato can probably build their oil pipeline by simply paying off the locals. have you ever wondered if serbia could have somehow been involved in the 911 attacks? what we need in the balkans are roadside strawberry smoothie stands and magic mushroom patches everywhere. then we could give them cd rom players with '70s music... they could have bong shops too and all of that... i'll bet they wouldn't be fighting then... they'd be grooving away in polyester bell bottoms and satin shirts... andy
