March 22, 2002 By STEVE WEIZMAN, Associated Press Writer Responding to U.S. prodding, Israel and Palestinians pressed on with truce talks Friday despite another Palestinian suicide bombing - the third in three days - but neither side reported progress. The Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade, a militia linked to Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, claimed responsibility for the latest attack. The bomber killed himself and wounded an Israeli army officer at a military roadblock just inside the West Bank. The Israeli military said the bomber had intended to blow himself up in Israel, but detonated the explosives prematurely when he was stopped by soldiers in a spot check. The assailant had been riding in a van with two other men, who fled after the explosion, said Brig. Gen. Gershon Yitzhak, commander of Israeli forces in the West Bank. In the Gaza Strip, troops shot and killed a Palestinian trying to break through a fence into Israel, Israeli military sources said. Palestinian officials said the Israelis had informed them that a man had been shot dead but they were not told the circumstances. Suicide bombings on Wednesday and Thursday were carried out by the militant Islamic Jihad and by the Al Aqsa militia, respectively. In all, 10 Israelis were killed and dozens wounded in those attacks. The bombings threatened tentative plans for Vice President Dick Cheney to meet with Arafat next week in Egypt. "As of now, the conditions have not been met" for any return trip to the region by Cheney, White House spokesman Sean McCormack said Friday. (END) I really have no other comment other than it's going to get worse before it gets better, maybe to the brink of an Arab-Israeli war. I can't see these near misses going on much longer. It's going to come down to either all out war or peace. But look for an eleventh hour peace plan to be presented and accepted before a major offensive occurs. It will be for seven years. The rapture may take place long before this happens changing the world dramatically. I believe the next six months could be life changing. Pastor Malone
