Israel's largest bus company, Egged, plans to sue the Palestinian Authority and Yasser Arafat for hundreds of millions of dollars. Egged claims that the terrorist attacks of the past two years have murdered some 100 people on Egged buses, and have cost the company close to 200 million shekels a year, including a drop in the number of riders. The suit will be submitted in a Tel Aviv court two weeks from now.
In another civilian effort to stop terrorism, the parents of Meiron Junction bus bombing victim Marian Menachem, 20, of Moshav Safsufa, have filed a complaint with police against two Israeli-Arab women students. The students learned that the suicide terrorist was planning to blow up the bus about 20 minutes ahead of the attack, got off the bus, and made no effort to notify authorities. The complainants say that their daughter's life could have been saved had the women taken the trouble to call the police.
