Police in Frankfurt have established that bomb attacks there three weeks ago of travel offices doing business with Israel were carried out by the West German urban terrorist organization Revolutionary Cells and an unidentified Palestinian group. Police said they learned that a dispute within the urban terrorists group broke out after the attacks because two victims of the explosions had nothing to do with Israel. This according to Frankfurt police, is the reason that Revolutionary Cells did not claim responsibility for the attacks.
