Sharon Blames Court Ruling For Terrorist Bomb
1:51 pm PST, 11 July 2004
The Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, says a bomb explosion that killed an Israeli in Tel Aviv occurred under what he called the patronage of the International Court of Justice. The court has ruled that the barrier Israel is building through Palestinian land in the West Bank was illegal and should be dismantled. Mr Sharon says that ruling encouraged last night's bombing, which was the first in Israel since March. And he reiterated his position that Israel absolutely rejects the International Court of Justice's ruling, saying it was one-sided and politically motivated.
