On April 17, 2006, a Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) suicide bomber killed nine Israelis in an attack on a restaurant in Tel Aviv. Three days later--thanks to ongoing surveillance of extremist communication networks--NEFA investigators were on hand to videotape a rally held outside the Israeli consulate in midtown Manhattan by the so-called "Islamic Thinkers Society" in order to demonstrate their support for anti-Israeli suicide bombings. The Islamic Thinkers Society is a faction of the U.K.-based extremist movement formerly known as Al-Muhajiroun. In 2003, a British member of Al-Muhajiroun carried out a suicide bomb attack at a British-themed restaurant in Tel Aviv, killing three bystanders.
