Absolutely Victor, but that doesn't make Arabs savage. Unless you are a racist.

Jewish rightists admit to blast at school

April 10 2003

Jerusalem: A radical right-wing Jewish group claimed responsibility yesterday for a blast that injured 29 Palestinian children in a school in the northern West Bank, Israeli army radio said.

The group, called Revenge of the Babies, told the radio station the blast was "to avenge the Jewish children killed by the Palestinians". The blast occurred in a school in the village of Al-Jarba, 10 kilometres south of Jenin. Four of the injured were in a serious condition, Palestinian medics said.

Early reports said one of the children had found the device, thought to be an Israeli-made grenade, in the school and that it exploded while he was playing with it in a classroom.

The day before, in the first Israeli air strike since the war in Iraq began, a missile fired by an Israeli aircraft blew up a car in Gaza City, killing a Hamas commander and six other people.

Two Israeli F-16 warplanes flew low over Gaza city after nightfall, breaking the sound barrier. Minutes later a missile was fired at a white Subaru on a street in Gaza City, turning the vehicle into a pile of flaming wreckage. A second missile exploded in the street, wounding at least 50 bystanders, witnesses and doctors said.

Israeli security sources said the target of the air strike was Saed Arabeed, 38, a Hamas commander responsible for a series of deadly raids against Israelis.

Two of the dead were Hamas militants, Palestinians said. The other dead and wounded were civilians, doctors said, including children hit by shrapnel from the second missile, which exploded after people had run into the street to see what had happened.

Meanwhile, the Palestinian prime minister-designate, Mahmoud Abbas, has been given a two-week extension to form a new cabinet.

A source close to the Palestinian president, Yasser Arafat, said the delay was due to disagreement between Mr Arafat and Mr Abbas, a moderate widely known as Abu Mazen, on the makeup of the new cabinet. Mr Abbas accepted an offer last month by Mr Arafat to become the first-ever Palestinian prime minister, giving him three weeks to present a cabinet to the Palestinian Legislative Council.

That deadline ended on Tuesday, and Mr Arafat approved Mr Abbas's request for an extension until April 23, the official Palestinian news agency said.

But Mr Arafat said he doubted Mr Abbas would need the entire two weeks to form a government intended to launch a new reform drive to root out corruption in the Palestinian Authority and curb violence.

He [Mr Abbas] will present the cabinet within the coming few days and I think it may be on Saturday," Mr Arafat said.
