Suicide Bomber from Abbas' Fatah Strikes Eilat

The southern resort city of Eilat has had its first suicide bombing, thanks to the decision of Ariel Sharon and Ehud Olmert to turn over Gaza to Islamists. Precisely as I predicted the terrorist strategy was two-pronged: arm Gaza and then use that base to move terror into Israel. In this case, the suicide bomber apparently travelled from Gaza across the now open border to Egypt, and then through the desert border into Israel.

Of course, one of the three groups claiming responsibility for the bombing is the al Aksa Martyrs' Brigades, part of Abbas' Fatah. Abbas is the linchpin of American and Israeli hopes for 'moderation.'
