Palestinian Suicide Bomber Kills 5 at Tel Aviv Club

(New York Times) Alan Cowell and Greg Myre - A Palestinian suicide bomber blew himself up amid a crowd of young Israelis waiting to enter a nightclub near the Tel Aviv beachfront Friday night, killing five and wounding dozens. The explosion sent bodies sprawling and covered the street and sidewalk with blood, body parts, and debris. "The important message that comes out of this is that there can be no compromise with terror organizations," said Raanan Gissin, a spokesman for Prime Minister Sharon. The PA has taken "some steps which are important. But they have not taken the necessary steps of dismantling the terrorist organizations," he added. "In the case where the Palestinian Authority will fail, we will feel free to take whatever action is necessary to protect our citizens," he said. U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Friday: "It is essential that Palestinian leaders take immediate, credible steps to find those responsible for this terrorist attack and bring them to justice....We now must see actions that send a clear message that terror will not be tolerated."
