Tiberias, killing two young boys and

attack threatened to spark a new round
of Israeli reprisal raids which have left

ce April 22.
Yasser Arafat's Palestine Liberation
Organization (PLO) claimed respon-
sibility for the midafternoon bombing
that shattered the festive atmosphere
in the popular vacation town on the Sea
of Galilee. It was jammed with tourists
who had arrived for a holiday that
began yesterday.
THE DEATHS brought the number of
Israelis killed in terrorist attacks this
year to 15. Authorities said eight of the
wounded were in serious condition.
Police reported the bomb, placed in a

slashed by flying glass.
In Qatar, a top aide to Arafat
repeated the PLO vow to attack
American targets. Salah Khalaf told a
news conference, "American interests
in the Middle East and elsewhere in the
world are well known to us, and we will
hit them because we realize the enor-
mity of the animosity that the
Americans harbor for us Palestinians."
The blast in Tiberias also coincided
with a warning by Arafat that Israel
would start a war against Lebanon and
Syria now that the Israeli-Egyptian
peace treaty had secured Israel's
southern border.
"We expect now a preemptive war -
as Israel puts it so nicely - on Israel's
northern and eastern front," Arafat
said in an interview published yester-
day by the Zurich newspaper Tages An-
zeiger.
