Shin Bet on High alert amid warnings of attack on Masjid Al-Aqsa
7 April 2005
The Shin Bet security service has raised the level of alert in Jerusalem amid indications that extremist Jews are planning to carry out an attack on the mosques of the Temple Mount, and on the basis of new intelligence has beefed up police and security around the site in the heart of the Old City. According to a report in Haaretz on 7 April 2005.
The Islamic Movement within Israel has urgently called upon Muslims to converge on Masjid Al-Aqsa and protect it against the Jewish extremists.
Haaretz further reported, Police on Wednesday announced plans to close the Temple Mount compound to Jews on Sunday, when a right-wing extremist group called Revava was planning to hold a mass rally there. Police fear the activists could clash with Muslim worshipers.
The secret service created a ranking from 1-10 with 10 being the highest security risk. Three months ago, the Shin Bet was ranking the security threat at 7, meaning that "there are signs of planning for an attack," and that there are activists "talking about what to do and as soon as possible." Now, however, the ranking has moved to an 8 - and it is based on much more solid information.
Security sources confirmed that there is information about several groups of extremists, though it is not certain to what extent they are in contact with one another. Lately there has been some progress made in the inquiry, but a gag order has been slapped on its details.
Friends of Al-Aqsa calls upon all Muslims to the following:
1] Those who able to travel there must undertake a journey to protect Masjid Al-Aqsa.
2] Send assistance to the Palestinians against Jewish extremists.
3] Lobby your local MPs and government to raise the issue in the Parliament.
FoA considers this danger to be real and immediate steps must be taken to halt the march of Jewish extremists.
