In a briefing to the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee today, IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Shaul Mofaz said that the Arabs are planning a series of terrorist attacks. He also said that some of the weapons seized on board the Karine A freighter were \"highly advanced\" and testify to their intentions. MK Yossi Sarid (Meretz) told the chief of staff that the elimination of Raed Al-Karmi yesterday proves that \"the period of quiet was disturbing to someone.\" MK Michael Kleiner (Herut) said in response that Meretz has embarked on a campaign against the IDF.
Defense Minister Ben Eliezer said today that Karmi was planning terror attacks to be carried out against Israelis \"in the immediate future.\" He noted, however, that Karmi was apparently killed by a premature detonation of his own bomb.
