Hunt For The Engineer: How Israeli Agents Tracked The Hamas Master Bomber

Yehiya Ayyash, the Palestinian bomb builder known simply as "The Engineer," killed 130 Israelis & wounded nearly 500 during a two-year campaign of terror, beginning on April 6, 1994. The Engineer became the most wanted man in modern Israeli history. Prime Minister Rabin ordered the state to mobilize all its resources to stop the bombings. The result was one of the largest manhunts in recent history. Here is how the Shin Bet, the most elite of Israel's secret services, conducted a merciless search & destroy mission against one man. At last they killed him by placing a sophisticated bomb in his cellular phone. By then, however, Hamas had succeeded in derailing the peace process. "Reads like a thriller." Photos.
