Four people killed in suicide bombing in TA

At least four people were killed and 40 others were wounded Friday night, when a suicide bomber blew himself up outside a discotheque on the Tel Aviv promenade at around 11:20 P.M.

The suicide bomber apparently blew himself up outside the "Stage" nightclub, on the corner of Herbert Samuel and Yonah Hanavi streets, opposite the beachfront.

The militant Islamic Jihad organization claimed responsibility for the attack, while members of the Fatah-linked Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades said the Lebanese guerrilla group Hezbollah was involved in the bombing.

In the wake of the attack, security officials launched a search for two suspects after witnesses reported seeing two men fleeing the site of the explosion.
According to police, the terrorists could have come from the northern West Bank, and may be trying to return to the area.

The attack is first suicide bombing in some four months. It also marks the end to a period of relative calm in Israel and the Palestinian territories.

On February 8, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas declared an end to hostilities between the two sides, after more than four years of violence.

The Paleo chapter of the IslamoFacists always launches these horrible attacks when "peace negotiations" are under way, because they think they can get more out of the Israelis if they bomb them into it.
Obviously, they want more than Gaza: they'll say they want the West Bank, the Golan Heights and at least the Eastern part of Jerusalem.
Although Sharon is fighting dissent within Israel about abandoning the Gaza settlements, he should hold firm--as I pray he will do--and keep to his plan, keep building the fence and maintaining the fence that is there.
The Israelis need to find out how these IslamoNazi killers and their bomb got inside the safe area.
