There’s been another barbaric Palestinian suicide bombing: Four killed in suicide bombing attack at West Bank settlement.

At least four people were killed when a Palestinian suicide bomber exploded after nightfall Thursday at the entrance to the West Bank settlement of Kedumim.

The vehicle blew up around 9:45 P.M. next to the Kedumim gas station. At least one of the bodies was likely that of the suicide bomber and there were fears that at least three of the casualties were Israelis.

There was no confirmation as to the identify of the casualties.

UPDATE at 3/30/06 2:33:17 pm:

Israel National News is reporting that the murderer disguised himself as a Jewish hitchhiker:

An Arab terrorist from Fatah’s Al-Aksa Brigade dressed as a Jewish hitchhiker and blew himself up inside the car of those who picked him up near Kedumim, in Samaria - murdering three Jews.

The attack took place at 10 PM near the gas station and hitchhiking station adjacent to the town of Kedumim.

The [Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades] terror group released a statement saying the bomber was a 24-year-old from Hevron.

Shortly following the explosion, police believed the blast was a terrorist bomb that detonated prematurely, killing the bomber inside. The vehicle was engulfed in flames so preliminary reports took over an hour to begin to reflect the reality.

It now appears that the bomber dressed as a Jew, wearing a kippa (yarmulke) and hassidic garb and was given a ride by the unsuspecting occupants of the Israeli vehicle. He then blew himself up inside, killing three passengers. The number of dead remains unclear but it appears to be two at this time.
