both alarm and "complacency" as
Israelis prepare for possible attacks.
"They have lamentably had to put up
with terrorist attacks day in and day
out," she said. "We went to a (gas)
mask distribution center; people by
the hundreds are very calmly picking
up their supplies."
She said that the group assured
Israeli leaders that "most of us in
Congress are firmly supportive of their
foreign assistance package that they
hope to get."
But she conceded that "we've spent
so much on the war effort, and so
many programs have been cut domes-
tically. So to ask for more aid and
loans and military help come at a dif-
ficult time. But we wanted to tell
them we will do all we can.
Activist Indictments
News accounts of last week's indict-
ment of_ activists with alleged ties to
Islamic Jihad focused on a controver-
sial South Florida professor.
But the indictments also included
fugitive leaders of the terror group
accused of more than 100 killings —
including the 1995 murder of Alisa
Flatow, a young New Jersey student
who was killed in the Gaza Strip.
Late last week, Attorney General
John Ashcroft announced a 50-count
indictment by a Tampa grand jury
charging eight people with supporting
Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
Included on the list are Islamic Jihad
leaders in Lebanon, Syria and Gaza as
well as one in London. Four more,
including University of South Florida
professor Sami Al-Arian, are under
arrest in this country.
"It's been a long time coming," said
Stephen Flatow, a New Jersey lawyer
and father of Alisa. "The wheels of
justice grind so slowly, but ever so
fine; I accept that."
For seven years, he said, his
demands that Justice Department offi-
cials more aggressively pursue his
daughter's killers were met with "assur-
ances they were working on it. Now, I
guess we can say they really WERE
working on it."
He said he will continue pursuing
his efforts to claim a massive judgment
against Iran, a major state sponsor of
the group that killed his daughter.
He indicated that last week's indict-
ments could pose a policy dilemma for
the Bush White House, which may
demand the extradition of Ramadan
Abdullah Shallah, secretary-general of
Islamic Jihad, who now is living in
Damascus. 111
