Hamas Threatens Suicide Bombers After Child's Death The militant Islamic group Hamas threatened to unleash 10 suicide bombers against Israel in revenge for the killing of an 11-year-old Palestinian boy who was buried in the Gaza Strip on Sunday. ``There are 10 martyrs waiting inside Israel. They are ready at any moment to get revenge on the Israeli killers,'' shouted members of Hamas's military wing during Khalil Mughrabi's funeral. He was killed by Israeli troops on Saturday. ``If the Israelis have big bombs, we have human bombs,'' they chanted through loudspeakers during the funeral at Rafah, along Gaza's border with Egypt, near where the child was shot dead. Mughrabi became the 17th Palestinian killed since a cease-fire drawn up by U.S. CIA Director George Tenet was supposed to have taken effect on June 13. Nine Israelis have also been killed since the truce was brokered. http://www.nytimes.com/reuters/world/international-mideast.html

Arafat Criticizes U.S., Saying It Should Do More As evidence of what he contends is his "100 percent effort" to clamp down on terrorism, Mr. Arafat pulled from his jacket pocket, which seemed to contain a wealth of documents, a typed report in Arabic from the Palestinian intelligence service. The report, he said, held detailed information that was provided to the Israelis a day after the June 1 suicide bombing outside a Tel Aviv discoth�que that killed 21 young people. It said the Palestinians had learned that the man who drove the suicide bomber to the beachside disco was a longtime informant for Israeli intelligence, Mr. Arafat said, a Palestinian who had been granted Israeli citizenship and resettled in Israel like many "collaborators." The bomber himself was a Palestinian with a Jordanian passport. Mr. Arafat appeared to be trying to make the point that the Tel Aviv bomber and his driver had no connection to the Palestinian Authority while they had at least indirect links with Israel. He also made reference to another deadly terrorist attack, years ago, in which he said Palestinian collaborators also played a key role. Asked to spell out what he was suggesting, he said, "I'm giving you facts and leaving it for everyone to arrive to realities." Nabil Shaath, a senior minister who has objected repeatedly to Israeli demands for a Palestinian roundup of Islamist militants, added, "At the very least, this means that looking for the usual suspects will not work in these cases."
