MORE ON THE EL AL PLOT FOILED BY THE SWISS

Swiss Hold Seven Suspected of Planning El Al Attack (Reuters)
Seven people of North African origin are being held on suspicion of plotting to attack an Israeli El Al airliner in Switzerland, the Swiss Attorney General's office said on Thursday. "This cell had very seriously envisaged committing an attack in our country on an airliner belonging to the El Al airline," said a statement. Israel's Yediot Ahronot newspaper reported last month that Swiss and French intelligence agents had foiled a plot to shoot down an El Al plane over Geneva in December using a rocket-propelled grenade.
