Car bombers used lifting of curfew to infiltrate Israel
Two Palestinian suicide bombers who killed at least 13 people in a bombing took advantage of the lifting of a curfew on the West Bank town of Jenin to infiltrate Israel, General Moshe Yaalon told parliament's foreign affairs and defence committee Tuesday. The explosive-laden car that crashed into a bus was driven by two Palestinian militants from Jenin identified as Ashraf al-Asmar and Mohammed Hassanein, both 18. The bombing was claimed by the Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the radical group Islamic Jihad. "The curfew had been lifted on humanitarian grounds and the terrible Karkur attack was carried out less that 48 hours later," said Yaalon. So now the Paleos can bitch when the curfew's reimposed. Calling them cynical bastards would be a statement of the obvious, so to hell with it, I won't even mention it... Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2002-10-23 |
