Tel Aviv Attack Bid to Wreck Vote: Abbas
 Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas condemned yesterday’s bomb attack in Tel Aviv as an attempt to sabotage next week’s legislative elections. “This attack was aimed at sabotaging the elections and the efforts that have been made by the Palestinian Authority,” Abbas told reporters in Ramallah. “We must bring these renegades, who are breaking the national consensus, to justice,” he added in reference to the Islamic Jihad commanders who ordered the attack.The Tel Aviv blast, which left around 30 people wounded as well as killing the bomber, was the first attack since the end of a truce at the start of the year which the main factions had agreed with Abbas.
