Palestinian Suicide Bomber Kills 11

A Palestinian suicide bomber blew himself up in a crowded garden cafe across the street from Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's walled residential compound Saturday night. Police said 11 people were killed as the Mideast endured another day of widespread violence.

The assailant walked into the Moment cafe and detonated explosives, said Jerusalem Police Chief Mickey Levy. Sharon was not at the residence, which is in the central Jerusalem neighborhood of Rehavia.

"There was a huge explosion, simply atomic," said one of the cafe's patrons, who only gave his first name, Eran. "There was smoke everywhere and an acrid smell of gunpowder. People were screaming. I've never seen anything like it in my life."

The militant Islamic group Hamas claimed responsibility in a statement, saying it was "the beginning of retaliatory activities for Sharon's war on the (Palestinian) refugee camps." The Al Aqsa Brigades, a militia linked to Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement, also claimed it had engineered the attack.
