August 4, 2002 A series of terror attacks have killed 12 people and wounded dozens of others in the Mideast since Sunday morning. The first and most deadly attack came when a Palestinian bomber set off a powerful explosion on a bus in northern Israel, killing eight people and himself. Hours later, a Palestinian gunman opened fire in Jerusalem, sparking a shootout with police that left three dead, including the gunman. The most recent terror attack came early Monday morning when a car carrying an Israeli couple and their two children was ambushed on a main road in the West Bank, the Israel Defense Forces said. Decided to see if I could find a terror attack or two during August which you describe as a "quiet period" with "no Palestinian attacks on Israelis". The Hebrew University bombing was on 7/31 so it just missed the "quiet period" by a hair. Well that's enough research to indicate the "quiet period" was not so quiet. ----------------- They also include the killing of 5 people who were blown to smithereens after a missile attack on civilian cars in Tubas near Jenin. Burham and Osama Daraghmeh, 6 and 12 were among those killed. It probably should be noted that one of the five was Ra-afat Darghmaeh, the head of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade in the area.
