Polling station death toll rises

THE death toll from a shooting and grenade attack on a polling station in Israel has reportedly increased to six.

Five Israelis died in the initial spree and the sixth victim succumbed to his wounds five hours later, public radio said.

Another 21 people were wounded, three of them critically, the report added, quoting medical sources.

There are more than one set of victims in Israel, although you'd never guess from reading this site. In response to this attack the Israeli government looks set to crack down further on Islamic militants. The campaign of violence is futile, meanwhile the innocent are being butched.
