The suicide bomber was sixteen years old:
The Islamic Jihad revealed on Monday afternoon that the suicide bomber who detonated himself at a falafel stand outside Tel Aviv’s old central bus station was Sami Salim Mohammed Hammed, from Jenin.
The next time Saeb Erekat or some other Palestinian mouthpiece whines about a teenager getting shot for hurling rocks or smuggling bombs because they’re just a child, keep this in mind.
UPDATE:
AKS points to this Flickr gallery from someone that was on the scene quickly.
The family is saying the bomber wasn’t 16, but a 21 year-old dropout from Al-Quds University:
Sami Hammad graduated from high school and studied social work through a distance-learning program of Al Quds University but was forced to drop out because his parents could not afford to support him, his mother said.
Blowing yourself up in the middle of a crowd, killing and maiming dozens says a lot about the society he was “studying” to do “social work” for.
As Golda Meir said: “Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us.”
That’s one less bastard who will reproduce. It’s a crime that he took so many innocent’s with him.

Finish the fence already!
The reports are saying he’s 21, but when this post was written, the reports said he was 16.
I would have approved the comment that pointed that out, but I suspect the commenter is of the ilk that the poor, poor, pitiful boy was “oppressed” into blowing himself up around a group of civilized human beings.
The Pal Arabs will remain “oppressed” until the last Jew is removed from Israel. The IDF needs to kill every Pal Arab Hamas/Fatah/IJ individual that is known to them, elected or otherwise. The Marines would do no less to Bin Laden given the chance. Why is this any different???? He Sh’Amdah L’Avoteinu…….
Sad. Not surprising. Will the new government decide that you cannot play with murderers. Look at what was accomplished by letting Arafat live. The US and the Shah of Iran and the French learned nothing from allowing Khomeini live. And so our brothers and sisters die because governments pretend civilization when the other side has none.
