Israel's security and defense networks are confident that yesterday's explosion in an Arab school in the Shomron was not the work of a Jewish terrorist organization, but rather the result of an Arab-made bomb. Three students were killed and 15 were injured. Although an announcement purportedly from an unknown Jewish group named "Vengeance of the Babies" took credit for the bombing, eyewitnesses said that one of the students brought the bomb in himself.
It was announced today that the GSS arrested, two weeks ago, a resident of one of the small Jewish communities in the Shilo-Eli area. He is charged with having built a bomb that was allegedly planned to be used by the Bat Ayin group in an eastern Jerusalem school last year. The accused denies all involvement.
