[Israel, via its policy of continuing with its "business as usual" dropping
of security measures and negotiations with the PA and President Bush with
his "a few enemies of peace" response to today's attacks ignore the basic
fact that it isn't "a few" bad apples - it is the PA itself.]

Palestinian Authority Secretary Ahmed Abdel Rahman said he understands
today's terror attack, Israel Radio reports.

In an interview with the Arab television station Al-Jazeera, Abdel Rahman
said that Israel talks about lightening the restraints on Palestinians in
the West Bank on the one hand, and on the other soldiers increase actions
against the Palestinians.

He said he does not feel that the terrorism needs to be controlled because
of Israel's strong-handed action against the Palestinians.
