Irael Reveals Plot to Kill Prime Minister

A top Israeli security official has said that Palestinian militants planned to kill Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert as he traveled through the West Bank. The cabinet was told there was a plan to ambush the convoy in August. But, before the attack could be carried out, Palestinian forces had arrested three plotters and the Israeli forces another two. Mr. Olmert met Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on August 6, as planned.
