Bomb Explodes in Israeli TownA car packed with nail-studded explosives blew up next to a crowded Israeli commuter bus in the coastal city of Hadera Wednesday, sending the bus flying into a building as victims writhed on the ground and nearby stores burst into flames. Two Israelis were killed and more than 50 were hurt. The blast was blamed on Palestinian militants, further dampening hopes for anIsraeli-Palestinian truce anytime soon. Israel said that it held Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat ultimately responsible and that it would retaliate. |
