Car bomb attack thwarted by Israeli security services
By: IDF Spokesman   
Published: February 28, 2005   
 
A car bomb attack has been thwarted by the IDF and the GSS [Shin Bet], who have been prepared for such an attack in the last few days.

The Islamic Jihad terrorist network in Tulkarm, directed by the Islamic Jihad Headquarters in Syria, is responsible for the attempted terrorist attack.

This afternoon IDF forces uncovered a commercial vehicle rigged with a large amount of explosives near the village of Arabe in the Jenin area. The rigged vehicle, which was in the final stages of preparation for the attack, was uncovered with a long cable protruding from it. The cable was attached to a battery and a video camera, intended for the documentation of the terrorist attack.

The explosive vehicle was detonated in a controlled manner by Israeli sappers.
