MIDEAST-ISRAEL-PALESTINIAN-US
Palestinian premier Ahmed Qorei (C) receives five US congressmen at his West Bank offices in Abu Dis, near Jerusalem, 12 August 2004. Israeli security forces remained on a heightened state of alert and sealed off the northern West Bank town of Jenin after a botched Palestinian bombing at a checkpoint close to Jerusalem yesterday in which two Palestinian civilians were killed and 18 people were wounded. The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, an armed offshoot of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat-s Fatah movement, claimed responsibility for the attack, which was criticised by Qorei. "This kind of operation runs counter to the interests of the Palestinian people," Qorei told reporters today. He also said that Israel must take a share of responsibility for the attack for its continued "incursions and assassinations" which prompted militants to take their revenge. AFP PHOTO/Awad AWAD
