5/19    Is it true there haven't been any successful suicide bombers in
        Israel since the building of the security barrier?
        \_ A very small number.  The fence isn't finished yet.  The fence is
           also not going to reduce the number to zero either.  Just reduce
           the murder rate to something the EU and UN can continue ignoring.
           \_ IMO the israelis should fence off another square km of
              'buffer space' territory for every bomber that gets through. If
                the Palestinians send enough bombers through to get themselves
                pushed into the mediterranean, its their problem.
           \_ Where can I get info for this?
              \_ There was at least one bombing at a seaport about 2-3 months
                 ago.  There have been a few random rockets/shell fired semi-
                 randomly into Israeli civilian areas.  The 14 year old was
                 caught wearing a bomb at a check point.  Maybe a few others
                 I've forgotten.
                 \_ I asked about SUCCESSFUL suicide bombers.  I know
                    there was at least one successful conventinal attack,
                    some dude stopped a lady and her 4 kinds on the road
                    and shot them all.
                    \_ pft.  Google.  I gave you the basic story lines.
