Palestinian Car Bomber Injures 30

A Palestinian suicide car bomber injured 30 Israelis, including soldiers, when he rammed into a bus Monday. Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin said Israel will act against such attempts to disrupt the peace process.

“It is always an expression of religious fanaticism and political extremism joined together,” Rabin said, noting that car bombing appeared to be a new tactic. Four such attacks have occurred in the last few months.

Rabin said the army will target Muslim extremist groups--including Hamas and Islamic Jihad--and other organizations that resort to violence.

“Their activity and the focus of their politics is directed at making the agreement with the Palestinians fail and to disrupt chances of implementing it,” Rabin told reporters.
