SWISS THWART PLOT V. EL AL

Swiss thwart plot to attack El Al plane (Drudge Report)

Swiss justice authorities said Thursday that they had thwarted a plot by a group of North Africans to attack a plane of the Israeli airline El Al, and had made seven arrests in the process... The Federal Prosecutor's Office said the individuals had been seized in sweeps which began on May 12 in Zurich and Basel, AFP reports, following an investigation which had shown that their cell had 'very seriously considered' attacking the Israeli carrier in Switzerland.
