| Another Tulkarm boomer in Netanya |
| 2002-05-19 |
| There was an explosion in the center of the Netanya market place, at the intersection of Herzog an Sha'an streets. According to Magen David Adom, two people are dead. Initial investigations are not clear if one of the dead is the suicide bomber. In addition, 21 people are injured, seven of them seriously. Intial reports indicate the bomber entered the area from Tulkarm, possibly in a taxi cab. FoxNews says there was a terror alert an hour before the bombing, which means their intel is very good. But you have to have details... FoxNews reports that the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine has claimed the credit for the market attack. The head of PFLP is one of the thugs in Jericho. His buds want him sprung and Yasser was trying to figure a way to do it. When he was "arrested" in January his capos went nutz, too, and were rumored to be taking part in plots to dump Yasser. So the boomer probably has a much to do with internal PLO politix as with "rage against the Israelis." It's a thumb in Yasser's eye after his calls for an end to the boomers when he wasn't calling for a million martyrs. Same source reports that Hamas is also claiming credit on Hezbollah TV. Still trying to bring on the attack in Gaza? |
