Explosives Found Near French Railway and Another Palestinian Bomb Attempt
The AP reports that an explosive device was found buried beneath a set of French railroad tracks. The device was described as not resembling the devices previously associated with the group AZF which is involved in an extortion plot demanding 5.2 million dollars. In another chilling story, Israeli authorities detained a 16 year-old boy with an explosive belt trying to pass through a checkpoint. And just a little note about the bomber, he is apparently retarded and is described as having the "intelligence of a twelve year-old." I find it interesting that the AP uses the headline: "Israelis Stop Teen Wearing Bomb Vest."
