Fatah wing claims responsibility for Israeli bombing

An unofficial wing from the Palestinian Fatah movement has claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing which killed four people on a bus in Israel yesterday.

Another six people were also injured in the attack in the town of Hadera.

Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has blamed Palestinian President Yasser Arafat for the attack, saying he is "directly responsible" because of his failure to arrest every Palestinian militant planning attacks on Israel.
