Israeli Ministers Call for War

JERUSALEM (AP) - A Palestinian suicide bomber transformed a crowded cafe into a mass of maimed bodies and upturned, blood-covered furniture Saturday night, killing at least 12 people in an attack across the street from Prime Minister Ariel Sharon (news - web sites)'s walled compound. By Sunday morning, Israel had destroyed Yasser Arafat (news - web sites)'s seaside office in Gaza and some ministers were calling for all-out war.

Also on Sunday, a Palestinian gunman was killed after opening fire on two Israelis in the Israeli settlement of Netzarim in the Gaza Strip (news - web sites), the army said. Both Israelis were wounded, one seriously, before a nearby soldier killed the gunman, the army said.

The seaside compound, where Arafat received world leaders and held many news conferences, was empty at the time of the attack. Arafat himself has been trapped in the West Bank city of Ramallah by Israeli forces for more than three months.
