The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, a radical offshoot of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's mainstream Fatah group, is claiming responsibility for a West Bank suicide bombing.

The blast, at an Israeli army checkpoint, wounded two Israelis.

In a phone call to AFP, the group says one of its militants died in the attack in the northern West Bank town of Tulkarm.

The group says it will release the bomber's identity later.

does this mean we can kick Syria's ass again?

No, this time only Arafat is to blame. I don't think the Al-Aqsa Brigades are supported in any major capacity by a foreign power: they are Arafat's special Fatah men.
