Police sirens sounded across Jerusalem Wednesday morning after Israel's security forces learned that a "Palestinian" terrorist was trying to infiltrate the capital to carry out an attack.

Blue and red lights flashing, cars and vans raced through the city heading for the "border" checkpoints at Bethlehem in the south and in the direction of Ramallah in the north as a red alert was declared in Jerusalem and its environs.

According to The Jerusalem Post, police were carrying out spot-checks on cars in Jerusalem, and those wanting to enter, tying up traffic in and around the city.

After three hours the alert was lowered and police announced they had captured a number of men suspected of planning an attack.

One week ago the city of Tel Aviv underwent a similar lock down upon news a terrorist was out to enter the Mediterranean metropolis.

The terrorist organizations that constitute the "Palestinian" leadership have long been vying with each other to carry out the deadliest act of terrorism after months of intense and overwhelmingly successful anti-terrorism operations by Israels' police and military forces have helped to keep the lid on such attacks.

Arab attempts to kill Jews were given a boost after Israel succumbed to pressure from visiting US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice last month to remove 50 anti-terrorism IDF roadblocks from Samaria and Judea.
