Israeli assassination attempt backfires ; Palestinian militant survives, but 2 boys killed, escalating feud
2001
Overview
The officials said [Mohammed Ayoub Sidr] was allegedly planning another attack, this time against a bus in the Israeli city of Bersheva. Israeli officials issued a statement last night expressing regret over the civilian casualties, while the office of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon complained that [Yasser Arafat] had not done enough to arrest terrorists: \"Arafat has yet to make a strategic decision to abandon the path of terrorism, and that we have still not seen any significant actions to prevent attacks, arrest terrorists and fight terrorism and terrorist infrastructure.\" The blast from yesterday's missile strike was strong enough to damage a taxi that was one car behind the targeted vehicle. Israeli army officials said last night that the two boys who were killed were in the taxi, which the officials said had suddenly appeared on the street when the helicopter was committed to firing. But Palestinian doctors said [Burhan] was sitting on his father's lap in the back seat of Sidr's car and was Sidr's nephew. [Basam Natsheh] said one missile struck the boy and critically injured his dad, Hamid Himouni, 55. The Israeli government put out a statement within an hour blaming Palestinian militants for trying to disrupt [Anthony C. Zinni]'s mission. Palestinian officials accused Israel of rigging the truck to explode, also to thwart Zinni. A U.S. official offered a third possible explanation: The truck explosion may have been just an accident.
