Hmmm... this can’t be good for Barak and Daddy Olmert. They’re going to have to do something. If there’s a new wave of bombings I can see Israel having to reoccupy Gaza.

Police said the attack was a suicide bombing carried by two attackers, but only one succeeded in detonating his explosives. The other terrorist was killed by a police officer seconds before exploding.

This is bad, but it sounds like it could have been even worse were it not for the quick reaction of the officer; too bad he couldn't have sent both of these agents of the devil to Allah's firey pit before detonation.

[Cindy]

Yes.
