...fuelled fears that the attack could be a terrorist strike against Israel.

I think statements like this are just absurd. What difference does it make if it WAS a "terrorist attack?" Does that mean it MIGHT indicate there are terrorists who want to target Israel? LOL!

To me this is like the statements you read from time to time such as: "The murder is being investigated on suspicion that it might have been a 'hate crime'". What bullsh*t! What difference if it was a "hate crime" or not? The person is dead, and hate is everywhere.

Just PC semantics.

I believe several persons are dead. Funny how you left out the victims.

Good question. President Bush certainly doesn't need another terror incident to take place on American soil during his watch.

I know what you mean illbay. We know the guy hates the US and Israel and he murdered some people at an Isreali terminal on the 4th of July. We don't know if he acted alone or if he was part of an organized group. How more precise can you get in describing what we know about this situation at this time. Yet we go on and on trying to determine if he he fits some less specific label -- terrorist.

What a waste -- a bunch of perfectly good ol' Freepers wrapped up in PC sematics.
