Shin Bet Says Terror Will Last to 2006


(Ha'aretz) Amir Oren - The Shin Bet security service believes that if Arafat remains in charge of the PA, terror attacks can be expected all the way to 2006. According to Shin Bet information, Arafat is not ordering any terror attacks but neither is he allowing any internal attempts to unify the security services under anyone else. The Shin Bet is not anticipating any sudden moderation in Arafat's positions. The Shin Bet's support for creating obstacles to terrorists, like the security fence, is largely based on the fact that obstacles force the terror cells to rely on more people, thus creating more opportunities for intelligence penetration. Experts say there is no shortage of resources in the Palestinian territories for biological, chemical, and even radiological elements to be introduced. Even in even small dosages, such materials put in a regular bomb to make it "dirty" could create panic.
