An AP reporter saw a gray wire with an on-off
switch leading from the scene of the attack to
a small concrete room at the side of the road.

The IDF said the targeted jeep was the middle
vehicle of the convoy, which carried security
men and CIA personnel. A Palestinian security
van had preceded the convoy's three
armor-plated vehicles.

The CIA spokesman in Washington, Bill Harlow,
refuted the reports that CIA officials were in
the convoy, saying that "there were no CIA
people involved."

EDIT:
Another link from EU statement ..

Possibly done to get the EU to back the US/Israel in totally undermining any and all rights of Palestinians and to get Arafat out?
