This was done in one case about a year ago in Jerusalem, where a bomb was detonated about 15 minutes after 2 others, in order to kill emergency workers at the scene. Several other bombs in Israel have been detonated by cellphone, and others have been found and stopped. I don't think that it's policy here to ALWAYS turn off the cells, but it's something your readers should understand as part of the whole picture. --Bruce __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
