Suicide bomber kills Israeli amid fragile truce in Israel
A Palestinian bomber blew himself up in northern Israel killing an Israeli and injuring another, the first suicide attack there in a month and a fresh blow to an already shaky cease-fire. In Hebron a Palestinian was shot dead and three hurt as clashes erupted, with Palestinians blaming Israeli troops and Israel citing internal Palestinian conflict. Israeli forces entered two Hebron neighborhoods and have remained for three days. Despite repeated attempts to preserve the cease-fire declared on Sept. 26, violence persists with over 70 Israelis and Palestinians dead since then. High level talks in Jerusalem among Peres, Qureia, and Erekat aimed to calm tensions, while Arafat's cabinet urged militants to stop attacks that threaten Palestinian interests.
