Passover Massacre

March 27, 2002

A Palestinian suicide bomber kills 30 people and injures 140 people during a Passover celebration. Hamas took credit for this attack saying, "this is a trial (attempt) to send a letter, to send a message, to all the world that we are trying to fight for our own freedom against a terrorist government in Israel led by Sharon," and that Israelis "have to expect those attacks from everywhere, from every Palestinian group."^[1][2]
