It issued similar expulsion orders for three more Palestinians on Wednesday. Human rights groups condemn the policy as a violation of international law. Wednesday’s bomb explod ed around 10:15 a.m. (4:15 a.m. EDT) as the three-car con voy, escorted by Palestinian police, was heading south on Gaza’s main road just after entering the Gaza Strip from Israel. In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Brooke Summers said the blast came from a “previously plant ed explosive device.” An AP reporter saw a gray wire with an on-off switch leading from the scene of the attack to a small concrete building at the side of the road. After the first two cars went by, the third car had just passed when the blast went off near a gas station, said Mohammed Radwan, a Palestinian taxi driver who was at the station at the time. “The first two cars drove quickly and stopped far from the explosion. Palestinian security people jumped out of the car and rushed to the car that had blown up ... I saw two people covered with blood lying next to the car,” he said. The blast gouged a deep crater into the unpaved stretch of road. The attack tore the van in half and flipped it over, leav ing the wreckage twisted with the tires up in the air. The pave ment was stained with blood and littered with bits of flesh that were collected by Palestinian paramedics. can follow them for several years afterward. “1 am an Aggie, and I know how things are here in College Station, “ Placke said. Thibodeaux said that with the advent of the Internet and sites such as publicdata.com, it is much easier to access a person’s records than in the past. The fact that these records can now be suppressed eliminates what Thibodeaux called the “collater al consequence” of deferred adjudication. Bass also cited the side effects of deferred adjudication, “It’s not a conviction, but people are still being punished,“ Bass said. Freshman agribusiness major Annette Cadena said she was surprised at the new law. Others, like Alicia Feagley, were sup portive of the bill’s effect. “I think it’s right, “said Feagley, a sophomore political science major. “You do have the right to suppress your informa tion.” Feagley compared the new law to the expunging of juvenile records.
