Zinni welcome committee shoots 'em up and explodes
2002-03-17
  • A suicide attack in Jerusalem and a deadly shooting north of Tel Aviv on Sunday undermined the optimism surrounding U.S. envoy Anthony Zinni's third peace mission to the region.

    Israel reacted angrily to the shooting attack in Kfar Saba, in which a gunman killed one person and wounded six more, one critically. Zinni was in a meeting with Israeli President Moshe Katsav when word of the attack reached him. A short time later, a suicide bomber blew himself up near a bus in Jerusalem, but no one was seriously injured except for the boomer, which was no great loss. Wonder if his Mom was standing across the street with a vid camera?.

    "Israel has offered a cease-fire, pulled back most of its forces in good faith, and this seems to be the answer Israel is receiving," said Dore Gold, an adviser to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.
    Hey! Careful with that feather! You almost knocked me over! Now, who would have ever in his wildest dreams thought that the lemmings Palestinians would initiate a coordinated campaign of violence to greet Sysiphus Zinni, timing it so that the shootings took place even while he was meeting with Katsav himself?
