Yehiya Ayyash, the Palestinian bomb builder known to the world simply as "The Engineer" killed 130 Israelis and wounded nearly 500 during a twenty~four~month campaign of terror. On April 6, 1994, Ayyash's first powerful car bomb, detonated by a suicide bomber, killed eight and wounded thirty people; a week later a man devastated a crowded bus by exploding 50 pounds of high explosives strapped to his body. More bombings, all masterminded by the Engineer followed with sickening regularity. As the carnage in the streets of Israeli cities mounted, a new phase took shape in the fifty~year~old war as the Israeli electorate began to turn against the government~supported peace process. Meanwhile, the Engineer became the most wanted man in modern Israeli history. Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin had ordered the state to mobilize all its resources to stop the bombings. The result was one of the largest manhunts in recent history which spread over the entire globe and involved Britain's MI5, the Royal Jordanian Special Forces, the FBI and the New York City Police Department. Charged with the task of catching Ayyash was the Shin Bet, the most secretive and elite of Israel's secret services. Samuel M. Katz, a security and special operations expert, reveals here for the first time how the Shin Bet, its director and its agents in the field, conducted an unprecedented and merciless search and destroy mission against one man. Ayyash, however, was not an easy target, even for the Shin Bet. He was highly intelligent and elusive and possessed a sophisticated support network. He was a master of disguise able to pass himself off one moment as an old Arab woman and another as an Orthodox Jewish student, and he was especially adept at recruiting the susceptible young men willing to blow themselves up along with their victims. As the death toll rose so did the Engineer's popularity as he came to be revered like a rock star by many Palestinians. Each time the Shin Bet closed in on Ayyash, he managed to slip through their fingers, until, at last, they tracked him down and killed him by placing a sophisticated bomb in his cellular phone. By then, however, Hamas had succeeded in its aim to derail the peace process, and Ayyash had become a god~like hero and martyr to his people; his funeral attracted 100,000 mourners. THE HUNT FOR THE ENGINEER is a real~life thriller that provides a rare look behind the scenes of Israel's secretive security apparatus and how it operates within the stark context of life and death in the Holy Land, where bombs are once again shaping the political landscape.
