Seeking vengeance, car bomber kills 8 in Israel
The Associated Press
AFULA, Israel — Yaacov Rahamin gestured toward three children wrapped from head to foot in bandages, victims of a car bomb that killed eight people and injured 45 yesterday in revenge for the Hebron massacre.
"My feeling is that there will never be peace," Rahamim said as he visited his injured son Kadouri, 13, in the hospital. Kadouri was burned on his forehead, shoulders and hands in the suicide attack.
"All they know is how to kill children."
The explosion occurred at about 12:30 p.m. in the northern town of Afula near a city bus stop close to three high schools.
As a city bus pulled up to the stop and some students crowded around, a blue Opel parked 10 feet in front of the bus erupted in a fire cloud. Some students had finished for the day.

Afula, a factory and agriculture town in the northern Galilee region, is surrounded by Arab villages and is six miles from the occupied West Bank town of Jenin. At least one of the dead was an Arab woman.
The Islamic militant group Hamas claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was in revenge for the Feb. 25 massacre in a Hebron mosque.
Like the killings in Hebron, which took place inside a mosque on a day of prayer during the holy month of Ramadan, the Afula attack was felt intensely because of the teen-age casualties and because it came on the eve of Holocaust Day, when Israel mourns the slaughter of six million Jews by the Nazis.
"Today, the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day, wepaid a terrible price for being Jews, for wanting to live peacefully and independently in the Land of Israel," President Ezer Weizman said in a nationally broadcast ceremony.
Opponents of the peace talks organized demonstrations in numerous cities. In Afula, students chanted "Death to Arabs" and "Baruch Goldstein, We Love You." Goldstein, an immigrant from the New York City borough of Brooklyn, carried out the Hebron attack.
Benjamin Netanyahu, the leader of the right-wing Likud party, urged Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin to suspend the talks just as the PLO did after Goldstein gunned down the 30 Muslim worshipers in Hebron.
Before yesterday's attack, 148 Palestinians and 27 Israelis have died in violence since the Israel-PLO autonomy accord was signed Sept. 13.
California suffers strong afterschock
The Associated Press
LAKE ARROWHEAD, Calif. — A strong aftershock of the 1992 Landers earthquake jolted a wide area of Southern California yesterday. There were no immediate reports of serious damage or injury.
The tremor struck at 12:01 p.m. and measured 4.8 on the Richter scale. It was felt in downtown Los Angeles, inland desert areas to the east and south.
The quake was centered six miles southeast of Lake Arrowhead, said Heather Lovasz, a representative for seismologists at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.
"It was pretty strong," said Jeanne Bradford of the Lake Arrowhead Communities Chamber of Commerce. "It was like the building got pounded."
The only report of damage to San Bernardino County fire authorities was a 20-inch crack in a wall at the Morongo Valley fire station, said Mary Stock at fire command headquarters.
Mandela says violence shouldn't delay elections
The Associated Press
DURBAN, South Africa — Nelson Mandela rejected any delay in elections in volatile Natal Province, saying yesterday that the army can end mounting bloodshed in the three weeks before South Africa's first all-race vote.
The African National Congress leader spoke to a national conference of ANC youth in the capital of Natal. In the past five weeks, more than 400 people have been killed in the province, which includes the KwaZulu Black homeland.
The scale of the bloodshed in Natal has convinced some observers that it is futile to try to
The South African army sent in 700 soldiers yesterday in an attempt to quell the violence, bringing the entire deployment to 1,900. The 700 new troops gathered at Ladysmith in northern Natal; most were to be sent today to the area near Uundi.
hold the elections while a war is raging between supporters of the ANC and the Zulu-based Inkatha Freedom Party
President F.W. de Klerk ordered a state of emergency last Thursday to end the political violence. Bloodshed has increased in the weeks leading up to the election—the first to include the Black majority — as Zulu nationalists demanding sovereignty try to block voting in their strongholds.
But Mandela was insistent that there be no delay in the election. He spoke two days before a key meeting tomorrow with Buthelezi and Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini, who oppose the vote and demand changes in the country's new constitution to guarantee self-determination for the Zulus.
Conservatives whites also renewed calls for a delay yesterday, saying there should be more negotiations on their demands for a separate state for whites.
