Ruti Peled, 56, of Herzliya is one of the two murdered victims in last night\'s suicide terrorist attack in Petach Tikvah. The name of the baby who was killed has still not been released. Twenty-five of the more than 50 people who were wounded are still hospitalized. Four of them, including a two-and-a-half-year old toddler, are in serious condition, and eight are listed in \"moderate\" condition.
The suicide terrorist detonated himself outside a cafe in the Em HaMoshavot Shopping Center shortly after 6:30 PM. The police said that the presence of security guards prevented the terrorist from entering the cafe, thus averting an even greater disaster. The bomb contained a large quantity of nuts, bolts and nails, to maximize the carnage. Among the wounded are seven children, all of whom were taken to the Petach Tikvah Schneider Childrens Hospital. The al-Aqsa Brigade of Arafat\'s own Fatah terror organization claimed responsibility for the attack. Hamas\' Sheik Ahmed Yassin released a statement vowing to continue to strike out against Israeli targets.
