In Israel, the death toll in yesterday’s twin suicide bus bombings has risen to at least 14. Dozens were injured. Following the attack Prime Minister Ariel Sharon announced Israel would accelerate construction on a 400-mile separation wall being built in the West Bank. Sharon’s office said “We will build the fence where it provides the best protection, not where the world decides.” The United Nations and the International Criminal Court have both determined the wall to be illegal under international law.
