Linda Gradstein reports that for two Sundays in a row now...terrorist bombs have struck Israel...leaving that country grieving and angry...and unsteadying the always delicate middle east peace process. Last Sunday, twin suicide bombings killed 26 in Israel. Today, a bus bomb in downtown Jerusalem killed at least 19. In response, Prime Minister Shimon Peres today declared war on the militant Hamas organization, which claimed responsibility for the attacks. Peres said Israel would not rest until Hamas has been destroyed.
