Suicide Bombers Attack Israel

And it begins. Two suicide bombers attacked Israel today in the Israeli city of Dimona. One Israeli was killed, six wounded. There were two suicide bombers but one was shot and killed before he could detonate his explosives. Dimona is the area that houses one of Israel's nuclear facilities.
While it hasn't been confirmed, at this point the only terrorist group to somewhat claim responsibility was Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades which of course is the extremist branch of Abbas' Fatah.
This is all indicative, I'm afraid of things to come. Don't think for a minute that this is a coincidence since Dimona is near the Egyptian border area - the whole area is now porous and if Israeli isn't stacking forces 3 deep along that border, they are making a mistake. I realize who is claiming this bombing but this reeks of al Qaeda to me - al Qaeda often uses multiple bombers - we'll have to see if there are more groups with a claim to this.

Here's the full story from Breitbart.

JERUSALEM (AP) - A suicide bomber on Monday blew himself up in the southern town that houses Israel's secretive nuclear reactor, killing at least one Israeli and wounding six, authorities said. Police said a second attacker was shot dead he could detonate his explosives belt.
It was the first suicide attack in Israel in a year, and officials were investigating whether the attackers came in through Egypt after Palestinians breached the Gaza-Egypt border last month. A violent offshoot of moderate Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement claimed responsibility, which could complicate recently renewed peace efforts.
Government officials dismissed the notion that the heavily guarded Dimona nuclear reactor was the target of the attackers. The explosion took place in an industrial area about six miles from the reactor site.
"We heard a large explosion and people started to run. I saw pieces of flesh flying in the air," a witness identified only by her first name, Revital, told Army Radio.

"The terror organizations have showed again who they are and what they are," said Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Arye Mekel. "Their goal was and continues to be to kill Israeli citizens in their homes and their schools and in their shopping centers."

The breach made Israel's Negev desert, where Dimona is located, more vulnerable to penetration by Palestinian militants who could enter through Egypt's porous border. Dimona is about 40 miles northeast of Egypt.
However, the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, the group affiliated with Abbas' Fatah movement that claimed responsibility, said in an e-mail to The Associated Press that it sent attackers from the West Bank town of Ramallah to carry out the "heroic martyrdom bombing in Dimona."
