SLIDESHOW: Israel & Region | World Israeli security sources said that the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) had learned of plans to target Carter
and had passed on the information to the former president's security detail in "real time."
According to Palestinian sources, terrorists linked with al Qaida hid a number of improved explosive devices along a road that Carter's convoy was
scheduled to travel on inside Gaza. Hamas forces reportedly uncovered the IEDs and destroyed them.
