Jerusalem: terror easily slips thru


Malfunction Prevented Bus Bombing - Hanan Greenberg

Two months ago, security forces arrested Omar Ahmed Abu al-Rob, 25, an Islamic Jihad terrorist south of Tel Aviv, after he ditched his explosive device in a dumpster.

[T]he would-be bomber attempted to activate the device on a bus from Jaffa, but it failed to explode because he had apparently inserted the batteries incorrectly.

[I]t was sheer luck which prevented the death and injury of dozens of Israelis. The terrorist had made his way from Jenin in the West Bank to Tel Aviv via Jerusalem, taking advantage of breaches in the separation fence.
