Homicide Bomber Kills One in IsraelSecurity guard dies trying to block Palestinian attacker from train station
Our sympathies for the guard's family, to whom we all owe our gratitude for his sacrifice in fighting terror. He is a true hero, as are his fellows.
Incidentally, Al-Aqsa - an arm of Yassir Arafat's Fatah movement - denies responsibility but an anonymous caller who said he was with Al-Aqsa claimed responsibility. Does this mean a) Arafat's people are still doing the terror thing at his bidding in spite of yesterday's promises to work for peace, b) people who disagree with Arafat's moves are trying to embarrass Arafat into returning to extremism by killing any goodwill he builds up, c) someone unconnected to Al-Aqsa is trying to embarrass Arafat by making it seem like his people are still involved in killing for their own purposes.
The correct answer, of course, is d) we're still working with this guy when no credible judge of his character and his movement's character could rule out any of the above or actually promise peace with Israel?
