Palestinian Homicide Bomber Attacks Bus Stop Near Tel Aviv, Kills 4

(Ha'aretz) Roni Singer and Amos Harel - A Palestinian suicide bomber killed four Israelis at a bus stop under the Geha bridge east of Tel Aviv Thursday - Corporals Angelina Shcherov and Rotem Weinberger, and Advah Fisher, all 19, from Kfar Sava, and Staff Sgt. Noam Leibovitch, 21, from Elkana. "Tonight's attack is another indication that the Palestinian Authority's terror industry is always ready to strike Israel at any opportunity," said David Baker, an official in the Prime Minister's Office. "This goes to show that Israel cannot let its guard down," he said. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine claimed responsibility for the attack. Most of the PFLP cells' orders, defense officials say, still come from a group of PFLP leaders who have been in a Palestinian jail in Jericho, under British and American supervision, for more than a year, following the PFLP's assassination of minister Rehavam Ze'evi in October 2001. They have been given virtually unrestricted telephone access, issue frequent press statements, and receive regular visits from other PFLP members. The PFLP has also been known to receive money from organizations in Lebanon, and it frequently cooperates with local Fatah cells.
