JERUSALEM, April 21 (Xinhua) -- Israeli Interim Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said on Friday that Syria and Iran were behind Monday's suicide bombing in Tel Aviv, which left nine civilians dead and dozens wounded, the Jerusalem Post reported.

Olmert made the remarks during a meeting with a U.S. Congress finance committee delegation.

Israeli intelligence information found that the instruction for the bombing came from the Islamic Jihad office in Damascus and that a confirmation of the attack was sent back there shortly after the suicide bomber blew himself up, Olmert was quoted assaying.

Olmert claimed that the Iranians were funding and guiding terrorism against Israel through Syria.

3. Um, i thought Hammas took credit for it? Or am I wrong?

[Warren Stupidity]

4. You are wrong. Islamic Jihad.

Hamas is unlikely to take credit for anything while they are in power.

[Village Idiot]

6. This is strange...

It is well known that the PIJ, who claimed responsibility for the Monday bombing in TA gets a lot of its $$$ and personnel from Iran, and they are based in Damascus...

Are they now claiming that this was set up by the GOVERNMENTS of Syria and Iran?

7. If Israel believes that Syria and Iran are behind it , the only answer is:

Lob more high-explosive artillery shells into Palestine!
