Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Suicide Bomber Attacks Gaza Crossing
2008-05-22
A Palestinian suicide bomber detonated a truck packed with explosives early Thursday just short of the Erez crossing on the Gaza-Israel border, terrorist militant groups and the Israeli military said. It appeared that only the bomber had been killed in the blast that caused some damage, but no injuries, on the Israeli side.

Islamic Jihad and the Al Aksa Martyrs Brigades, a group loosely affiliated with President Mahmoud AbbasÂ’s Fatah movement, claimed responsibility for the attack, the latest of several against the Gaza border crossings in recent weeks. Islamic Jihad identified the bomber as Ibrahim Nasser, 23, of Jabaliya in northern Gaza, and said the truck had contained hundreds of pounds of explosives. An Israeli military spokeswoman said that two other terrorists militants who had been in the truck escaped before it blew up and tried to flee in another vehicle that was immediately targeted by Israeli fire. Islamic Jihad said the two managed to escape the getaway car before it was hit.
