JERUSALEM (AP) - Israel's prime minister said Sunday that his country
is on alert for plots to kill more of its citizens overseas, after
speculation that last week's suicide bombing of a tour bus in Bulgaria
was a rehearsal for a spectacular attack on Israel's Olympics team.
Israel blames Iran and its Lebanese proxy Hezbollah for last week's
bombing at an airport in the Bulgarian resort town of Burgas, just a
little more than a week before the opening of the London Games. Five
Israelis and a bus driver were killed. Iran called the accusation
"baseless."
While Israeli officials are tight-lipped about security procedures
for their athletes, they are on high alert on the 40th anniversary of a
Palestinian attack at the 1972 Olympics in Munich that killed 11 Israeli
athletes and coaches.
