The Palestinian Authority’s prime minister-designate condemned last week’s suicide bombing in Kfar Saba. “We oppose any such attack,” Mahmoud Abbas told Israel’s Channel 10, the Jerusalem Post reported. The Palestinian Authority also criticized any military operations that cause Israeli or Palestinian civilian deaths. The Al-Aksa Brigades, an arm of P.A. President Yasser Arafat’s Fatah movement, claimed responsibility for the April 24 attack at a train depot that killed a security guard and injured at least 13 Israelis.
