this morning six people were killed, and dozens injured, including several children, when a bomb planted by an Islamic fundamentalist group, Hamas, exploded in the back of a crowded bus in Hadera, Israel.

And this was used to clean up some of the remains of those who had blown more than 1,000 feet from where the bus was exploded. It has been more than 1 week since these incidents, the first incident, occurred. The PLO and Chairman Arafat have yet to condemn these types of attacks on innocents. There is a letter circulating by Members of Congress to Chairman Arafat demanding, requesting, that, if we have a peace process, killing of innocent lives by any party is unacceptable. That is something that must occur if we are going to see peace in that region of the world.
