An Arab suicide bomber detonated his explosive charge this morning near the entrance to Kibbutz Sheluchot in the Jordan Valley region, claiming the life of one Jewish man. The Arab bomber apparently planned to enter the religious kibbutz by foot to commit a mass murder, but when the driver of a kibbutz vehicle stopped next to him to ask him what he was doing there, he exploded the charge killing himself and the Jewish driver.



Police originally reported that the two dead bodies were both Arab bombers.
