Israel resumes state-sponsored murder pogram
(BBC News, 22 June 2005)
Israel has confirmed it tried to assassinate a militant from the Islamic Jihad group in a targeted air strike. . . . The attack happened soon after leaders of both sides sat down for talks in Jerusalem on Tuesday, later described as disappointing by the Palestinians. . . . Targeted killings of Palestinian militants by Israel had been on hold since a truce was agreed in February. . . . "There was an attempt... to neutralise one of the members of this movement which failed," Public Security Minister Gideon Ezra told Israeli radio. . . . "An opportunity presented itself at a precise moment in time and place. If the Palestinian Authority will not act then we will have to do it." . . . Correspondents say his remarks indicate that Israel has resumed its policy of targeted killings . . . Israel's Haaretz newspaper said the targeted assassination happened 10 minutes after the high-level meeting opened in Jerusalem. . . . A senior aide to Mr Sharon said such air strikes may continue during Israel's withdrawal of Jewish settlements from the Gaza Strip if militant attacks continue - even if it means "major collateral damage".

[COMMENT by Lorenzo: That last remark can only mean one thing, Israel is about to massacre large numbers of Palestinian civilians . . . again. What a savage beast Sharon is.]
