Plot to Assassinate Olmert
Filed under: Terrorism by Chad at 1:15 pm CDT
A Palestinian employee of Doctors without Borders and a suspected member of the terrorist group the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine was arrested in an alleged plot to assassinate Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and other high-ranking Israeli officials.
The indictment said Bashir made several surveillance tours of the area surrounding Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s Jerusalem residence but decided that the building was too well protected. Working with the Palestinian militant group, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, he allegedly received hand to hand combat training and used the Internet to find alternative Israeli personalities to target.
Israel is being pretty tight-lipped about this alleged plot. Mazib Bashir was arrested on April 19 and there are no details into how Israel heard of this plot, though I suspect we’ll hear more about it in the coming weeks.
Although I know it is of bad taste though I don’t mean it to be, after the review of the Israel-Hezbollah War, why would anyone want to assassinate Olmert if their goal was to bring the downfall of Israel? That just doesn’t make any sense.
