Police doubt claim Jews bombed Palestinian high school
By Yonaton Lis, Haaretz Correspondent, Haaretz Service and Reuters
Israeli police and security figures maintain there is no evidence indicating a Jewish extremist group was responsible for the bombing of a Palestinian school in the northern West Bank Wednesday.
An extreme right-wing Jewish group called “Revenge of the Infants” claimed responsibility for a mystery blast that ripped through a Palestinian high school in the Jenin-area West Bank village of Jaba’a Wednesday, injuring at least 15 Palestinian teenagers, three of them seriously.
However, police are increasingly confident in their belief that one of the students brought the bomb with him to school and accidentally detonated the device.
Police intend to enter the school, located in Area B under Palestinian Authority civil control, in order to investigate the blast.
In a statement sent to reporters’ beepers, the extremist group said it had planted the bomb in revenge for the murders of Jewish children by Palestinians.
In the past, the shadowy group had claimed responsibility for terror attacks in which Palestinians were killed on West Bank highways.
The city’s mayor, Lutfi Abu Oun, said all of the wounded were taken to hospitals in the nearby city of Jenin.
An IDF spokeswoman said no troops were in the area at the time but rescue teams were sent to the school after the blast.

Now this is very interesting actually.
Ohio I’m pretty sure you agree with the Police. Don’t you?
