Golf cart drives off STORYLINE US President George W. Bush condemned the latest suicide bombing attack in Israel on Sunday, calling on all nations to prevent “a few killers“ from disrupting the Middle East peace process. “There are a few killers who want to stop the peace process that we have started. We must not let them,“ Bush said shortly before he began an early-morning golf game with his father, former US President George Bush Senior. President Bush is spending a weekend with his parents at their summer home at Kennebunkport on the Maine coast. The latest bombing on a packed bus in northern Israel during the morning rush hour on Sunday killed at least nine people and wounded 37 others. The apparent suicide attack occurred at the Meron Junction, between the towns of Acre and Tsfat, about 60 kilometers (35 miles) northwest of the West Bank. The civilian bus was carrying a number of soldiers returning to their bases on Sunday, the beginning of the work week in Israel.
