PFLP claims attack; IDF clamps full closure on territories

Three Israelis were killed during evening rush hour Thursday and about 15 people were wounded, two seriously and two moderately, in a suicide bombing at a bus stop east of Tel Aviv.

The Israel Defense Forces imposed a full closure on the territories following the attack.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine claimed responsibility in a call to The Associated Press, saying it came in retaliation for the killing of two of its members last week. The group identified the bomber as Said Hanani, 18, from the West Bank village of Beit Furik, east of Nablus.

2. For revenge

Yes, they did it for revenge.

in retaliation for the killing of two of its members last week.

It is the first suicide bombing in Israel since Oct. 4.

3. Not a surprise, considering the recent body count, but a bit strange

PFLPers are the least likely to be duped by the beards into sacrificing themselves in such a fashion.. shoots to shit one particular propagandist line, but I doubt that will be noticed.

5. That would be called...

"biting" someone elses material which is considered bad form unless permission is given.

7. erring on the side of caution, I won't claim originality

I suspect that the reference, implication, and meaning were lost on you, however..so I'd advise against it.
