Interesting angle on today's bus bombing...apparently the route carries as many Arabs as Jews: The bombing this morning took place near the large Israeli Arab town of Um-el-Fahm, in Israel's heavily Arab Galilee region. The bomber boarded the bus and said he was going to Afula, a Jewish town in the north. He walked toward a group of soldiers seated toward the back of the bus, immediately attracting the suspicions of Jewish and Arab passengers. "I know they don't care who they hit," Kamla Massalha, an Arab citizen of Israel who is a surgical nurse, told Israel Radio. "He didn't look normal. He looked around, he looked left and right and there was something under his jacket, around his waist. I suspected him right away. . . . A second later, the explosion came." ... Bus No. 823 has been hit by suicide bombers twice before, two weeks ago and last November. Nonetheless, several of the passengers, both Arabs and Jews, said they had discounted the possibility of another attack on the bus, because it carries so many Arab passengers. washingtonpost.com
