Truce???

Bear with me folks... I'm still learning how to do the link thing manually.

I heard a snippet of something occuring in Palestine on the radio while I was busy working... made a note to look it up. On yahoo, I found these articles posted. On Google, I found this.

So three or four have been killed as a result of the suicide bombing. (CNN originally reported three dead, then changed it to four).

Condi Rice condemns the Tel Aviv disco bombing in the 'strongest terms' according to the AFP.

The New York Times tells us that the bombing has shattered the Palestinian-Israeli Truce. Reuters repeats the sentiment.

As for resistance groups, Reuters tells us that "Militant groups have followed several weeks of calm while they considered whether to formalize the cease-fire, but had said they were not bound by Abbas's agreement."

And while Abbas Calls a meeting of his Security Chiefs , and the Israelis and Americans call for the 'dismantling' of certain organizations, and Islamic Jihad claims responsibility for the atteck, one must wonder why a story of 6,000 new Israeli homes in the West Bank (including 120 new unauthorized outposts) is at the very bottom of the list. Hmmmm.

Are we really surprised that the truce was short lived?

Hey Highlander... they do show up. Maybe it just took a bit of time though.
