Israel Holds Syria Responsible for Bombing

[GHOSTDANCER]

JERUSALEM Sept. 1, 2004 — Israel holds Syria responsible for a double suicide bombing that killed 16 people, a senior Israeli official said Wednesday in a warning that implied possible retaliation.

The militant Islamic group Hamas claimed the attack Tuesday in the desert city of Beersheba, when two bombers from the West Bank city of Hebron blew themselves up seconds apart in two buses.

Raanan Gissin, a senior aide to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, pointed to neighboring Syria on Wednesday, saying Hamas leaders are permitted to work out of the Syrian capital, Damascus.

Syria has said they would defend and retaliate against Israel if they pulled off another attack inside of Syria's borders. Brace yourselves.
