Report: A-bomb and missile storage dump was terror target

By Ha'aretz Service

According to a British media report, the six Palestinians arrested this week near Beit Shemesh were en route to a suicide attack against an Israeli arms warehouse in which nuclear bombs and Jericho surface-to-surface missiles are stored, Army Radio reported Wednesday.

It quoted the British Foreign Report as saying that the planned attack was thwarted as a result of information received by the Shin Bet security service and by a large-scale manhunt that resulted in the capture of the six late on Monday.

"Within Israel's defense establishment, officials are denying this morning that security information of this nature was indeed received," the radio said.

Foreign news reports have said in the past that Jericho missiles and nuclear warheads and other devices were stored in underground bunkers near Moshav Zecharia, not far from Beit Shemesh.

"Then why are they shooting at me?" Yossarian asked.

"They're shooting at everyone," Clevinger answered. "They're trying to kill everyone."

"What difference does that make?"
