Olmert accuses Syria and Iran of involvement in Tel Aviv suicide bombing
By The Associated Press
Prime Minister-designate Ehud Olmert on Friday accused the Syrian and Iranian governments of involvement in the Tel Aviv suicide bombing that took place Monday.
"The order for the Tel Aviv suicide bombing came from Damascus and when the operation was complete the report went back to Damascus," Olmert told a visiting group of U.S. senators, according to his office.
Olmert also said Iran, which provides funding to Islamic Jihad, and the new Hamas-led government bear responsibility for the attack.
"There is a channel of communication between Iran, Syria and the Palestinian Authority," he said.
The Islamic Jihad militant group claimed responsibility for Monday's suicide bombing, which killed nine people. The group is headquartered in Damascus.
