He claims that Ray was merely a fall guy in an intricate plot woven by U.S. Army intelligence units in which dozens, maybe even hundreds, of Mafia dons, government agents, white racists and small-time crooks were involved.

As costumed merrymakers paraded down the city's streets to celebrate Purim, which commemorates the deliverance of the Jews in ancient Persia from a plot to slaughter them, a man entered one of the cafes and detonated himself, killing three Israelis and injuring at least 47 more.
