A suicide bomber, possibly female, blew up near a hitchhiking stop in the French Hill neighborhood of northern Jerusalem killing at least seven people and wounding over 40 others. Two of the fatalities died in surgery after the attack. Four of the wounded are listed in critical condition. The Fatah's "Raed Karmi Branch" of the Aksa Martyrs Brigades took responsibility for the attack, in a telephone call to Abu Dhabi satellite TV, and Hizbullah's Al-Manar satellite TV, in Lebanon. "Zionists, leave our land because we will not stop our operations as long as there is an occupation," said the statement.
It's becoming pretty obvious that the only possible response to this sort of thing is counterterror. When there's nobody on the other side to reason with, all you can do is kill them. |
