At least seven Israelis die, 20 injured, 4 seriously, when Palestinian bomber
dressed as religious Jew blows himself up aboard north Jerusalem 6 bus early
Sunday in new wave of Palestinian suicide attacks. Sharon calls off
Washington trip for Tuesday meeting with US President to deal with response.
Police barriers at northern approaches to Jerusalem prevented second suicide
attack in city 20 minutes after first. A Palestinian bomber detonated charge
at A-Ram junction outside Neve Yacov killing himself but causing no
casualties.
In earlier attack, Saturday night, Palestinian suicide bomber - he too
disguised as religious Jew - murdered an Israeli husband and wife, Gadi Levy,
31, and Dina, from Hebron suburb of Kiryat Arba, in Gross Square of West Bank
town of Hebron.
Further north, two Palestinian terrorists shot dead in exchange of fire with
Israeli troops while trying to raid Sharai Tikva on West Bank opposite Petach
Tikva.
DEBKAfile: Upsurge of Palestinian terror staged from Arafat's Ramallah
headquarters and villages just north of Jerusalem. It was timed for first

and agreed to meet again.
