Islamic group abandons suicide attack truce

At least one of the Islamic militant groups responsible for suicide attacks on Israel abandoned its truce today after an Israeli army bulldozer destroyed dozens of buildings in a Gaza refugee camp.

Islamic Jihad today said it would no longer abide by the truce sought by Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat. Both Hamas and Islamic Jihad have carried out scores of attacks on Israelis, including suicide bombings in recent months.
