Shin Bet warning of attack causes Blair to nix Gaza visit Quartet Mideast envoy Tony Blair cancelled a planned Tuesday visit to Gaza at the last minute after the Shin Bet personally warned him that it had received intelligence information that Palestinian terror organizations were planning to attack him. The trip would have marked the highest-level diplomatic visit to the territory since Hamas took control a year ago. Hamas was to have provided security for Blair's trip. Hamas officials said before the visit was cancelled that they viewed Blair's decision to go to the territory as a sign of their group's emergence from Western isolation. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1002287.html
