Israelis Prevent Attack on President Bush

The Israeli government annouced that it arrested six Arabs living in Israel (2 Israeli citizens, 4 Palestinians from Jerusalem) for plotting to shoot down President George W. Bush’s helicopter near Hebrew University.

The arrests were made some time ago, and just made public.

From MSNBC:

U.S. officials say the arrests in Israel are the result of an Israeli
investigation and that officials there kept the U.S. government informed. They
say the U.S. was notified when Israeli investigators realized that one of the
members of the suspected cell used a cell phone to make videos of helicopters
taking off and landing, and commented on an internet site about attacking
President Bush’s helicopter. But the Bush aspect is only part of the broader
Israeli investigation.
