  HIJACKER WAS WANTED BY ISRAEL

  Mohammed Atta, 33, named by the FBI as one of the hijackers in last
Tuesday's disaster, was implicated in a series of bus bombings that hit
Jerusalem in 1996.  He evaded Israeli capture by going to ground among
his relatives in America.  The U.S.  authorities at the time turned down
Israels request to extradite this U.S.  national.  He is reportedly the
scion of a prominent, affluent family in El-Bireh, Ramallah, one of
whose members is a former mayor and most of whom carry American
citizenship, as do many elite Palestinian families in Ramallah and its
environs.  The latest information coming out of the FBI investigation
traces Atta, Ashehri and another of the seven suicide pilots, Ziad
Jarrah, from the Lebanese Bekaa Valley, to Hamburg four years ago, where
they established an Islamic terrorist cell. 

  Terrorist experts note that this cell based itself on a much older
German-based terrorist group  the one involved in the 1988 Pan Am 103
terrorist disaster over Lockerbie, Scotland, in which 270 died.  Atta,
who set up an Islamic prayer room in the local university, was known in
Hamburg as Mohamed el-Amir. Ashihri registered for studies, but never
turned up.  Jarrah, who flew aboard the plane that crashed near
Pittsburgh, went from Germany to Afghanistan 18 months ago and from
there to Miami, Florida. 

  It now appears that some of the seven suicide pilots may have trained
not only in private flying schools in Florida, but at U.S.  military
schools.  That is yet another pointer to how well Islamic jihadists were
able to secretly place themselves in American society and its
institutions. 

  The most recent penetration dates back 11 years at least, although its
roots go back much earlier.  In 1990, when the Afghan war ended with the
Red Armys defeat, Osama Bin Laden, who led the international Islamic
brigade America raised to fight the Red Army, turned coat.  Afghan
Arabs -- as those volunteers came to be known -- were allowed to settle
in the United States with their families.  Some stayed loyal to their
former commander and enlisted to the Al Qaeda, the militant movement Bin
Laden created to fight the second surviving secular superpower, America. 

  Those Afghan Arabs form the American-based core of Al Qaeda.  A second
important branch that buried its operatives inside the United States was
the fanatical and violent Egyptian Jihad Islami movement, Bin Ladens
foremost ally. 

  Bin Laden's published creed is: "To kill Americans and their allies,
both civil and military, is an individual duty of every Muslim who is
able, in any country where this is possible."

  TERROR IN JERUSALEM AGAIN

  An Israeli motorist died in the hospital last night after being shot
in the chest by terrorists on Route 9 between Jerusalem's French Hill
and Ramot neighborhoods.  A second Israeli man traveling in the same car
was hit in the ear.  Security forces searched for the assailants, who
were believed to have fled in the direction of Ramallah.  Army forces
launched a four-hour incursion into Ramallah following an ambush on an
Israeli car in northern Jerusalem which killed one Israeli man late last
night.  The army said that its troops entered the southern sectors of
the Palestinian-controlled city in retaliation for the ambush on the
road between Jerusalem's French Hill and Ramot neighborhoods. 

  The raid by IDF tanks and infantry came under very heavy light arms
fire from the Palestinians.  IAF Apache helicopters also participated in
the raid, according to reports.  The army said a number of arrests were
made, reportedly of key fugitives.  The IDF withdrew before dawn.  The
Palestinians reported at least one security man, Ali al-Yaseany, 26,was
killed.  Dozens of others were wounded in the strike.  They also
reported that some IDF tanks penetrated all the way to the Palestinian
Legislative Council building, a symbol of Palestinian autonomy. 

  ARAFAT-PERES MEETING POSTPONED INDEFINITELY

  After heated discussion between Prime Minister Sharon and Shimon
Peres, the proposed meeting of Peres with Arafat was postponed
indefinitely.
