((The car bomb went off at the main entrance to Jerusalem's busy farmer's
market on it's busiest day of the week - when it's packed with Israelis
shopping for their Sabbath dinner.
Police say it was a suicide bomb. Eyewitnesses say the car exploded in
a burst of flame, smoke and noise, that sent car parts and debris flying.
Police and rescue workers flooded the area, medics rushed to treat the
injured, ambulances moved in to evacuate the wounded to hospitals.
Anti-terrorist experts started sifting the wreckage, to try to determine
first the type of bomb and then who may have carried out the attack. By
far the likeliest candidates, Islamic radicals who are sworn opponents
of all compromise with Israel.
FILE TAPE last year
They've struck this same market before, just over a year ago, in the
summer of 1997, when two bombers carried briefcases full of explosives
into the market and killed fifteen people.
CABINET
Today's attack was perfect timing in picking a busy day at the market,
and in picking a time when Israel's cabinet has been meeting,
struggling to ratify the peace accord signed last month in Washington.
CLOSE:
The Israeli government says ratification of the accord is now on hold,
and that's just for starters. How Prime Minister Netanyahu and Yassir
Arafat react will determine whether this is just one more bump in the
road, or the end of the line.
