Palestinians believed Israel wanted to target a militant cell.

The warrants said the five men provided logistic and financial support to the leaders of the militant cell responsible for the attacks, which killed 191 people.

Syrian intelligence agencies are even sharing their knowledge about tracking militant cells with the West, earning praise from American officials.

Musa is reported as being the head of the militant cell.

Fatah's militant cells have led the street rioting and gun battles with the Israelis.

Others returned to their nations for guerrilla war or to recruit more militant cells.

"They are building secretly on their militant cells across the country."

General Simmons said the American military had not concluded whether a single militant cell was behind the attacks.

They tried to seize an Islamic militant cell with links to radical clerics last Tuesday.

Officials said the man has links with Islamic militant cells in several countries.
