Bombing Toll mounts

Updating a previous post, from the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) :
A Palestinian suicide bomber blew herself up in a crowded beach restaurant in the northern Israeli city of Haifa, killing at least 19 people including three children, police said.
The attack, just before the Yom Kippur fast day, provoked an outcry abroad and renewed demands in Israel for the government to exile Palestinian President Yasser Arafat, despite a call by his prime minister-designate for attacks on civilians to end.
The Islamic Jihad movement said it was behind the attack,"www.cdi.org" in which the bomber struck as families sat down for lunch on the Jewish sabbath at the Maxim restaurant, owned by a Christian Arab and a Jewish family and frequented by Arabs and Jews.
"Suddenly we heard a tremendous explosion. We saw smoke pour out of the restaurant and the windows shattered," said witness Navon Hai.
"There wasn't much we could do. Families were dead around the tables."
Wires and roofing material were left dangling. Windows were shattered on all sides of the restaurant and shoes and bloody clothing littered a nearby parking lot. Dazed people wandered around in swimming trunks after leaving the beach.
Police said the dead included three children and a security guard, and that about 50 people were wounded.
Israeli media said one of the dead children was a baby of several months and the two others were aged three and five.
Islamic Jihad named the bomber as Hanadi Tayseer Jaradat, 29, from the West Bank city of Jenin.
How do you fight this type of people???
