Where Israelis Grieve, Some Arabs Are Proud
When the bomb exploded, Sinai was flung out of her stroller as it was thrown into the air. One look at her told Mrs. Keinan that she had lost her daughter, said her brother, Udi Peled. "That baby was the light of her life," he added.

As he kept watch at the hospital today, Mr. Peled, a university student, said that what remained unfathomable was the drive to carry out suicide attacks.

But at the home of the 18-year-old bomber, Jihad Titi, in the Balata refugee camp in Nablus, on the West Bank, the logic of violence was clear.

The bomber's cousin, Mahmoud Titi, the local leader of Al Aksa Martyrs Brigades, was killed by tank fire last week while with two associates in the Balata cemetery.

Jihad Titi vowed to avenge his cousin's death within a week, his mother told The Associated Press. Shortly before his attack, he had called to say goodbye. Tearful at first, she recalled saying at the end, "Oh son, I hope your operation will succeed."

The bombing was later claimed by Al Aksa.
