Sucide bomber attacks in Hadera, murders five

Another casualty of Ariel Sharon's appeasement without a single convincing reason. From the AP Wire, via FOX News:

HADERA, Israel — A Palestinian bomber standing in line at a crowded falafel stand blew himself up Wednesday in this central Israeli town, killing five people and injuring 21, police and rescuers said.

The bombing eroded hopes that Israel's Gaza pullout would revive peace talks.

Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the blast, saying it was in retaliation for the killing of a top militant leader by Israeli troops earlier this week.

Oh, I see, that again, is it? I thought these peace talks were already done with. Since when was that what was important anyway?

Israel National News' coverage of this is better.

There is also a notification of another terrorist attack north of Ofra.

While we're on the subject, here's another report in which government sources admit to failure regarding the US's stance on the Hamas. But that's exactly the problem, now isn't it? They should not have to be relying upon the US for everything, now should they? No indeed, they shouldn't.
