Israel Hunting for Suicide Bomb "Sleepers"
(London Times) Uzi Mahnaimi - Special units of Shin Bet, Israel's internal security service, are being deployed to track down a group of Palestinian suicide bomb "sleepers" who are feared to have gone under cover during the tenuous ceasefire of the past two months and are poised to strike in several cities. Shin Bet officials said last week that up to a dozen bombers from the West Bank are living in villages with links to the militant organizations Hamas and Islamic Jihad. "Some have explosives, some don't. They are very difficult to locate and they will not be used all at once," said one agent. The Shin Bet is currently focusing on locations in the Galilee and a collection of Arab villages northeast of Tel Aviv known as "the little triangle."
