| N. Israel Bus Explosion Kills 6 |
| 2002-10-21 |
| A car pulled up next to a bus and exploded in northern Israel during the Monday afternoon rush hour, killing at least six people and wounding more than 30 as the entire bus was set aflame. The blast took place several miles inland from the coastal town of Hadera, at Karkur Junction. The intense flames sent plumes of smoke into the sky and prevented police and rescue workers from approaching the vehicle immediately. That's a new technique. I guess they've reached the point where they're loading these bastards down with so much dynamite they can't walk, so they have to be driven... |

| #5 I would assume that Israel is well aware that as soom as the Iraq hits the fan that the Paleos will stage attacks and Hezbollah will let go of some of those thousands of Katyushas...should be interesting....wonder if the world's attention diverted to Iraq will allow a real cleaning out of Gaza, the West Bank, and South Lebanon? |

| #4 The death toll is up to 16 at last count. I'd say that equals about another 16 years before Israel will be ready to even consider letting the Paleos set up their little "independant" terror state. Way to go Islamic Jihad, you stupid bastards!!! |

| #3 The militant Palestinian Islamist group Islamic Jihad said on Monday it was behind a car bombing which killed at least seven people in northern Israel, Hizbollah's al-Manar television station said. "The Jerusalem Brigades, the military wing of Islamic Jihad, has claimed responsibility in a call to al-Manar for the Hadera martyrdom operation," the station said in a message scrolling across its normal programming. It gave no further details. |

| #1 My guess would be they'll ignore Gaza and go into South Lebanon, then Syria, to approximately the Iraqi border. Without Syria as the conduit for Iranian control, Gaza dies on the vine. |
