Senior Israeli officials meet to determine what sort of retribution should be taken for yesterday's suicide bomber attack. Perhaps with that in mind, Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat has called for an unconditional ceasefire. But radical Palestinians call for more violence. Even so, two radical organizations took credit for the bombing, then denied that they were involved. Israeli leader Sharon, elected to do whatever it took to stop the violence, is under pressure to reply with massive action. As part of that, Israel has ended it's unilateral truce in the Palestinian territories.
