Rice demands Palestinians find those behind attack
2005-02-26
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.

#6  I'm on record for supporting Abbas and this is test to see if he really is a leader or just another thug. I sincerly hope he is up to the task and that they stop this nonsense once and for all. If he is unable to stop the attacks then there is no reason to deal with him.

Wow. If Powell was still SOS, he'd be saying that the attack was unhelpful to the peace process/road map.

#4  1 kilometer, JFM. Being metric and all over there. If you give the terrorists a centimeter, they will take a kilometer, so the olde saying goes.....

#3  A better idea: each bombing and the buffer becomes one mile wider...

#2  Israel seems to already have them in custody. The PA was having gun sex in celebration while the arrests were made. Time to end this farce. Deport them all in mass and put a 2 mile deep buffer between the Arabs and Israel. Anyone who enters it dies. The rest of the world can suck on it.

Five held over Tel Aviv bombing

#1  Condi is talking into the wind, but she is laying the framework for dealing with the PA, i.e., take charge or get the hell out of the way. The PA has neither the will nor the muscle to eliminate the terrorist organizations in Paleostine. This latest boom is the beginning of make-or-break time for Abbas and the Paleos.
