A bomb exploded yesterday afternoon in a Kiryat Arba car, minutes after Hevron resident Elisheva Federman and her child left the vehicle. Yediot Acharonot reported today on \"suspicions that it was a right-wing \'work accident,\'\" as Elisheva is the wife of former Kach member and noted right-wing activist Noam Federman. Both Noam Federman and Baruch Marzel - another former Kach member, currently engaged in building the Jewish Community of Hevron - were questioned by security sources about the incident. The Federmans, however, feel that it could be that it was the GSS that placed the bomb. They noted the killings of Rabbi Meir Kahane, his son (Rabbi Binyamin Ze\'ev Kahane) and daughter-in-law (Talia Kahane) in the past, as well as the many \"difficulties\" that the GSS has placed before Noam in the past.
Noam Federman told Arutz-7 today that, suspiciously, the GSS did not arrest him, but rather called him in for questioning - and advised him to explain that it was his own explosives that went off:
\"They told me that in light of the grave suspicions against us [the GSS], they want me to deny that the GSS did it... I do not like to think that the GSS may have placed the explosives; for one thing, it could be that it was actually Arabs who did it. The fact is that the car had been in a garage for a couple of days in an outlying area of Kiryat Arba, and Arabs had infiltrated to there a few times. This is one possibility. It could also be that it was me who put it there, as the papers claim. Or it could be that the GSS itself placed it, for they have certainly harassed me in the past. They say that they will investigate all the angles, so I hope they will do this...
\"But back to the session with the police last night: They spent two hours trying to get me to say that I am in \"security stress\" because I don\'t have a weapon - the GSS is the one that took it away from me! - and therefore I have explosives in the car in case I am attacked. I asked them, since when does the GSS advise people what to claim? Secondly, the claim itself is nonsensical, since this is my wife\'s car - so what good would it do me in case I\'m attacked to have explosives in my wife\'s car? ... They kept telling me that they are not going to hold me, but that I should just not accuse the GSS of placing the bomb. I would like to believe that it wasn\'t them, but the fact is that there is all sorts of \"security cooperation\" between Israel and the Palestinians, and Israel Radio reported a couple of weeks ago that during the negotiations with Tenet, Arafat demanded my extradition...\"
