Three Dead in Suicide Bombing

So much for a ceasefire. More Israelis are now dead. Once again it's near a nightclub (this time the Stage club on Herbert Samuel Street) on Tel Aviv's beachfront promenade.

Which lovely faction accepted responsibility? Well, militants from Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades -- you know they're tied to Abu Mazen's Fatah movement -- claimed it was Hezbollah. But on their TV station, they're reporting that Islamic Jihad has claimed responsibility. So is this the new way of doing suicide bombings? Pass the hot potato of blame from faction to faction so that action can't be taken? As Dr. Evil would say, "Greaaaaat."

****************
UPDATE:

It's now 4 dead, 49 injured. It ticks me off that reports will say this is the first breach of the ceasefire, when in reality, it's the first lethal/successful breach. The IDF has found many roadside bombs, bomb belts, etc. but the MSM doesn't seem to count that.

Great points. And very true -- the road will be painful no matter which is chosen.
