Israeli Army Enters Ramallah, Moves Toward Arafat Headquarters
By Nick Wells

Jerusalem, June 6 (Bloomberg) -- About 30 Israeli military vehicles entered the West Bank town of Ramallah and moved toward the headquarters of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, Cable News Network and Agence France-Presse reported.

The incursion comes after a Palestinian suicide bomber killed at least 16 passengers and wounded 37 others in an attack yesterday on a bus near the northern Israeli town of Afula.

Hours after yesterday's bombing, Israeli tanks entered Jenin also in the West Bank. The incursion was an ``initial response'' to the bombing, the Jerusalem Post daily newspaper cited unidentified security officials as saying.

Israel's Prime Minister Ariel Sharon delayed a visit to the U.S. by two days as his security cabinet discusses how to respond to yesterday's attack, the daily Ha'aretz newspaper and the Post reported.

Israel has staged almost daily raids into Palestinian towns to prevent terrorist attacks. Israeli forces have foiled 40 attacks planned by Palestinians in recent weeks, Avi Dichter, the head of Israel's Shin Bet security service, said this week.

U.S. Central Intelligence Agency chief George Tenet held talks with Arafat on Tuesday on reducing the size of security forces and told Arafat he couldn't count on U.S. backing if bombings continue, ``and Sharon will have a free hand,'' AFP said, citing an unidentified Palestinian official.
