Israel buries dead
after suicide boml)
kills self, 11 other
JERUSALEM (AP) - A
13-year-old Israeli girl who
loved to draw was buried at
sunset Thursday on a
Jerusalem hilltop, one of 1 1
people killed when a
Palestinian man blew himself
up on a crowded bus. Four of
the dead were children.
It was the first attack in
Jerusalem since August, and
the bomber’s hometown —
Bethlehem — braced for retali
ation.
Late Thursday, the army
ordered residents of about 30
homes in el-Khader, on the
outskirts of Bethelehem, to
leave their homes so the army
could take up positions, resi
dents said.
The army confirmed sol
diers were operating in el-
Khader, and an adviser to
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon,
Raanan Gissin, said the Israeli
Cabinet had decided the army
would carry out a “pinpoint
operation,” which would
include entering Bethelehem.
Two militant Islamic groups
claimed responsibility for
Thursday morning’s bomb
attack: Islamic Jihad and
Hamas. Gissin said Hamas
would be the group targeted.
Hamas participated in talks
with Egypt and Yasser Arafat’s
Fatah movement to negotiate a
freeze on Palestinian attacks at
least until Israel’s Jan. 28 elec
tion. A first round of talks in
Cairo ended inconclusively.
A continuation of bombings
and shootings would strength
en Israel’s right-wing parties
going into the elections.
Among the dead were four
children: two 13-year-olds, an
8-year-old boy who died along
with his grandmother, and a
16-year-old boy whose mother
also was killed.
Hodaya Asaraf, an 8th grad
er at a Jerusalem arts school,
was the first to be buried.
Shortly after sunset, the 13-
year-old was laid to rest at a
hilltop cemetery amid the wails
of her mother.
“Her friends said the last
thing she drew were leaves,”
said a teacher, Chena Ben-
Yaakov. “The leaf has fallen.”
Passengers and police said
the bomber boarded bus No. 20
and detonated the explosives
belt at about 7:10 a.m., as the
bus was stopped in Jerusalem’s
Kiryat Menaehem neighbor
hood, police said.
The blast blew out the bus
windows and sent glass shards
and body parts flying. Hours
later, a man’s arms dangled
from a broken bus window and
a torso was covered with a blue
and white checkered blanket.
