Hamas takes belated responsibility for terror attacks in Israel

The Muslim group Hamas has claimed belated responsibility for a string of terror attacks in Israel carried out several years ago. A Hamas web site lists nine attacks that killed 26 Israelis from 2002 until 2005. Other Palestinian groups claimed responsibility for some of those attacks at the time. Hamas says it kept quiet about its role until now for security reasons. The web site says all the attackers came from the West Bank.
