Palestinian Authority condemns blasts
The Palestinian Authority condemned a double bus bombing by Palestinian militants that killed 15 people in Israel on Tuesday and called for an immediate cessation of such attacks. "The Palestinian government reiterates that our higher national interests are not served by such actions and they should be stopped immediately," Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qorei's office said in a statement faxed to Reuters. The statement said such attacks give Israel a pretext to "assassinate" Palestinian militants, step up military raids into Palestinian cities and speed up expansion of Jewish settlements in occupied territories. The simultaneous suicide bombings in the city of Beersheba were claimed by the Palestinian group Hamas.Posted by: Fred 2004-08-31 |
