New Investigative Thrust In Britain
Correction to yesterday's post about a connection between the Mike's Place Bombing in Tel Aviv and the London attacks: This morning Haaretz reports that are no connections although it does not make clear whether that means these connections were never investigated or whether they were investigated and did not pan out:Halutz: No ties between London attacks, Mike's Place bombing in TAInstead, right now, one thrust of the investigation is focusing on the outcome of a raid on five apartments in Leeds, W. Yorkshire which may have been a point of departure for the bombers.
Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Dan Halutz and another senior officer confirmed on Tuesday there are no connections between the terror attacks last week in London and the April 2003 bombing of the Mike's Place bar in Tel Aviv.
Halutz was speaking during his first appearance before the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee since taking over as head of the IDF.
Earlier reports indicated London's Metropolitan Police and intelligence services were examining a possible link between the two terror attacks. British press reported the investigation was focusing on Muslim religious figure Omar Bakri Mohammed whose two students, Asif Hanif and Omar Sharif, carried out the terror bombing of Mike's Place on the Tel Aviv waterfront on behalf on Hamas.
