Palestinian Authority Says It's Ready to Arrest Bombers

RAMALLAH, West Bank (Reuters) - The Palestinian Authority will arrest members of an Islamic militant group if it is proved responsible for a car bombing in Israel Wednesday that killed at least 16 people, Palestinian sources said.

The sources said Yasser Arafat's Palestinian Authority had decided that if the bomber indeed came from Islamic Jihad, members of the group would be rounded up. Israel says Arafat has not acted on previous promises to arrest militant bombers.

Excellent. So this is a confession:

The militant Palestinian group Islamic Jihad, in a telephone call to al-Manar television station in Lebanon, said it carried out the bombing near Megiddo, the Hebrew name for Armageddon.

So Arafat & Co. can get to rounding up? Sure.
