Syria-Lebanon
Boom was planned in Damascus?
2003-05-02
From Debka. Salt liberally...
Updated findings show Tel Aviv suicide attack was originally planned for Passover by Damascus-based Hamas operations mastermind Imad al-Alamai who works with Hezbollah. He was controller of British killer team, one of which spent four months in Damascus preparing operation. His partner flew to Syria through Europe three weeks ago. Together they passed through Jordan to Allenby Bridge crossing, entering on British passports and driving to Gaza Strip. Their bomb belts contained new type of explosive not seen before by Israeli bomb experts and presumed imported. Al Aqsa Brigades of Arafat’s Fatah and Hamas claimed attack. The Tel Aviv cafe bombing near US embassy Tuesday night was carried out by Assif Mohammed Hanif, who blew himself up when security guard Avi Taviv pushed him away from entrance to Mike’s Place. Second terrorist Omar Khan Sharif ran away dropping his bomb belt and is still sought. Three Israelis were killed and 60 injured in blast.
The jibes with what I heard about Omar. The Damascus sojourn would lend credence to the Hizbollah involvement, too. Kind of embarrassing for the Hezbollah involvement to come out now, with Powell in Damascus. If Debka's report is accurate, chances are really good it'll be verified in our intel...
