(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - Scores of Palestinians took to the streets in Jenin and Jabalya to "celebrate" the attacks. Drivers honked car horns as gunmen fired into the air to express their joy. Others distributed sweets to passersby, hailing the suicide bombers and calling on all Palestinian groups to step up their "resistance operations against the Israeli enemy." The Aksa Martyrs Brigades claimed joint responsibility with Hamas for the attack. PA Prime Minister Qurei condemned Sunday's attack, saying such actions provide Israel with an excuse to continue its "aggression" against the Palestinians and build the security fence.
