The Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, has linked a bomb explosion in Tel Aviv this morning with last week's ruling by the International Court of Justice declaring the controversial West Bank barrier illegal.
The bomb, which exploded beside a bus stop, killed a woman and injured up to 20 other people.
Police say the device was not carried by a suicide bomber but had been planted among bushes next to the depot. It exploded during the morning rush hour.
The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade has claimed responsibility for the attack.
The Palestinian leadership, meanwhile, has decided not to press for a United Nations resolution on the West Bank barrier until after November's US presidential election.
It does not want to risk facing opposition from the Bush administration during the election campaign.
