Tel Aviv central bus station massacre

Twenty-three civilians were killed when two Palestinian suicide bombers blew themselves up at the Tel Aviv Central Bus Station in January 2003. Through 2020 the opening reported that "the Palestinian militant organization Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades claimed responsibility for the attack." The word is nowhere in the article today, and the sentence naming who claimed responsibility is gone entirely. A reader today does not learn which organization claimed responsibility for the bombing that killed 23 people.
