Suicide Blast Kills 15 in Israel _____Special Report_____ • War and Peace in the Mideast E-Mail This Article Printer-Friendly Version Subscribe to The Post By Jason Keyser Associated Press Writer Wednesday, March 27, 2002; 3:11 PM NETANYA, Israel –– A suicide bomber blew himself up in a hotel dining room in this Israeli coastal resort on Wednesday as guests gathered for a Passover Seder, the ritual evening meal ushering in the Jewish holiday. Police said 15 people were killed and more than 100 wounded. The Islamic militant group Hamas claimed responsibility for the attack in a phone call to the Arab television station Al-Jazeera. The claim by Hamas' military wing, Izzedin al-Qassam, could not be verified independently. The attack threatened to derail the latest U.S. truce mission, which survived two suicide attacks last week. An adviser to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said that while Israel was trying to reach a truce, it would have to reassess its policy in light of the latest attack. The blast went off Wednesday evening, when the dining hall of the Park Hotel along Netanya's boardwalk was crowded with guests marking the Passover Seder. A suicide bomber entered the hotel and crossed the lobby to the dining hall, where he blew himself up, said a local police chief, Aharon Franko. The explosion tore through the ground floor of the hotel, blowing out walls and overturning tables and chairs. Bits of rubble and wires dangled from the ceiling. Some of the wounded were seen staggering out of the lobby, which was plunged into darkness by the explosion. More @ washingtonpost.com
