STORYLINE:

Hours after a Palestinian suicide bomber blew himself up killing nine Israelis, the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, a militia linked to Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement, claimed responsibility for the attack.

During an improvised news conference, masked members of the Al Aqsa Brigades told journalist the group would take revenge for Israel's assault last week on the West Bank refugee camps of Balata and Jenin, in which 23 Palestinians were killed over a three-day period.

Palestinian security sources said the Jerusalem bomber was
Mohammed Daragmeh, 20, a member of the Al Aqsa Martyrs
Brigades, and that he was from the Dheisheh refugee camp near Bethlehem.

Shortly after the Jerusalem bombing, an Israeli policeman
on a motorcycle was shot dead in a Jewish settlement just
outside Jerusalem, police said. The Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade
also claimed responsibility for that killing.

Palestinian gunmen opened fire on Sunday on Israeli motorists waiting at an army checkpoint in the West Bank, killing seven people and wounding four seriously, the military said.

Israel radio said that Al Aqsa Brigades also claimed responsibility for Sunday's shooting attack.
