Three terrorists killed in twin car-bombings
Two car-bomb explosions occured within minutes of each other in Tiberias and Haifa at around 5:30 p.m. Sunday, killing three terrorist bombers and seriously wounding a 73-year-old woman. The car-bomb attacks occurred less than 24 hours after the signing of the Sharm e-Sheikh Memorandum.
"A serious attack was prevented and the perpetrators were apparently killed," Prime Minister Ehud Barak said last night in response to the bombings. "Israel will not tolerate any type of violence or terrorism against innocent civilians."
Israeli security forces believe that both car bombs were planned by the same terror organization and coordinated to go off at the same time, but due to technical failure or human error they exploded prematurely, killing the terrorists.
"It must be made clear to the Palestinains that a peace process accompanied by blood and murder is completely unacceptable", Foreign Minister David Levy said Sunday evening."
An intensive investigation of the attacks is underway, and a media blackout has been imposed on the details of the case.
