Sharon arrives home for meeting on suicide bombs

Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon arrived home early today after cutting short a trip to India to consider his response to two Palestinian suicide bombings, as an official said options included invading Gaza or expelling Yasser Arafat.

Sharon planned to convene senior Cabinet ministers and security commanders for urgent talks after a pair of bombers killed 15 Israelis in attacks in central Israel and Jerusalem just six hours apart on Tuesday.
