JENIN, West Bank, April 9 - An explosion wounded 20 First grade students at a Palestinian elementary school in the West Bank on Wednesday, it was the work of Jewish terrorists.
Lutfi Abu Oun, mayor of the village of Jaba'a, said two of the little girls were seriously hurt and all of the wounded were taken to hospitals in the West Bank cities of Jenin and Nablus.
School headmaster Ismail Salah said the explosion tore through a classroom for 6-year-old girls just as they returned from a midday recess.
Desks and chairs were thrown about and splintered, and pools of blood and glass shards littered the floor, witnesses said.
An Zionazi Jewish group calling itself "Killers of the Infants" claimed responsibility for the blast in a message sent to Israeli reporters' pagers, police said.
Israeli police spokesman Gil Kleiman said. "We have opened an inquiry and a decision has to be made whether we can send a bomb squad to investigate."
