They made peace with Israel and continue taking money from the US for that great peace plan of Jimmy Carter. LOL... You don't have a clue. The Dahab bombing is obviously Israel's tit-for-tat for the Passover suicide-bombing in Tel Aviv... Since the US urged Israel not to retaliate heavy-handedly on the Palestinians themselves, Mossad was tasked with sending the message to Egypt that her peace treaty with Israel entails a few duties --like exerting enough pressure on the Palestinians to keep them on the right, peaceful track... Bottom line: every time a suicide-bomber blows him/herself up in Tel Aviv, Mossad will retaliate with the bombing of a Sinai resort.Monday, 17 April 2006, 18:21 GMT 19:21 UK Tel Aviv suicide bomb kills nine A Palestinian suicide bomber has killed nine people along with himself and injured about 50 more in Tel Aviv. The bombing, which came during the festival of Passover, was the first suicide attack in Israel since January. The militant group Islamic Jihad said it was behind the restaurant blast, but Israel said it held the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority responsible. Hamas, which has been keeping a truce with Israel, described the attack as an act of self-defence. Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas condemned the bombing, saying it ran counter to Palestinian interests. The US said the blast was "a despicable act of terror for which there is no excuse or justification". UK Foreign Secretary Jack Straw deplored the "senseless and totally unjustified terrorist attack". In a statement, the Russian foreign ministry said it condemned the attack firmly and without reserve.Parliament sworn in The bombing came shortly before Israel's new parliament was sworn in.Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Israel would "act with all means at [its] disposal" to prevent further attacks. In other violence, a 19-year-old Palestinian has been killed by Israeli artillery shelling in the northern Gaza Strip. Local people say the youth was playing football near the town of Beit Lahiya when he was hit by shrapnel. The Israeli military says it was responding to earlier rocket fire from Palestinian militants. Later, an Israeli helicopter fired a missile into a metal workshop in Gaza City, causing no casualties, Palestinians sources told the Reuters news agency.

Eighteen-year-old Gedalia Cohen had travelled to Dahab in order to get over the death of his French-Israeli grandmother Marcelle Cohen, one of the nine victims of a bombing carried out by Islamic Jihad a week ago. One of his friends told the Yediot Aharonot daily that Gedalia was in a state of shock, although no Israelis are believed to have been wounded. "We're trying to calm Gedalia. He's in complete shock. He hasn't spoken in three hours. "He's in a real state. We're scared," Yossi Twito told the mass circulation newspaper. The bombings in Dahab on Monday night marked the third time Sinai peninsula resorts had been attacked in the last 18 months. The area remains a holiday hotspot for Israelis despite travel warnings, and more than 1 500 are currently believed to be in the Sinai. - Sapa-AFP int.iol.co.za
