President Moshe Katzav visited today the bedside of 21-year-old Natan (ben Bazehto) Sandaka, an immigrant from Ethiopia living in Lod. Natan is the Border Guard policeman who helped prevent yesterday\'s suicide terrorist attack from becoming a major catastrophe. His condition continues to be listed as critical, though there was a small improvement over the night. His sister Tami, 17, asked that special prayers be recited on his behalf.
