(State Department) Secretary of State Colin Powell said Thursday, "Once again, terrorists have killed innocent people, and at the same time they have struck a blow once more against the aspirations of the Palestinian people to have a homeland of their own.

"Syria cannot be serious about wanting a better relationship with Israel, the U.S., or anyone else, as long as it serves as any kind of a transshipment point for weapons that are going to terrorists of the kind who killed innocent people this morning in Jerusalem."
