Tatyana Ackerman, who was killed in the Palestinian terrorist bombing in Tel Aviv's Carmel market on Monday, was laid to rest today. She is survived by her husband and 14-year-old daughter, with whom she immigrated to Israel from Irkutsk four years ago, and her mother and sister, still living in Russia.
Two other people were killed in the attack. Thirteen people wounded in the bombing are still hospitalized, with five of them listed in serious condition.
As Steven Erlanger of The New York Times noted in his report following the bombing, Yasser Arafat "condemned" the attack - but it was later reported that this same Arafat had authorized money for Gaza terrorists from his sickbed, only days before the lethal attack in Tel Aviv. Referring to the Carmel market suicide bomber Amr al-Far as "Mr. Far," Erlanger continued to list those who "condemned" the attack:
"The attack was also condemned by Mr. Far's mother, Samira Abdullah, 45, who said: 'It's immoral to send someone so young. They should have sent an adult who understands the meaning of his deeds.'" [emphasis added]
