Rice demands Palestinians find those behind attack
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Friday demanded Palestinian leaders find those responsible for a suicide bombing that killed at least four people in Tel Aviv and "send a clear message that terror will not be tolerated." In a written statement, Rice condemned the bombing outside a nightclub and offered her sympathies to the victims. "Terrorist attacks, such as today's bombing in Tel Aviv, not only kill innocent civilians, but also undermine the aspirations and hopes of the Palestinian people." Rice said. "It is essential that Palestinian leaders take immediate, credible steps to find those responsible for this terrorist attack and bring them to justice," she added. "We understand that the Palestinian leadership has condemned the attack. We now must see actions that send a clear message that terror will not be tolerated," she said.
