The split with the Peasant Party (which refused to back a road-tax bill) leaves Miller 19 seats short of a majority in the 460-member lower house of parliament. Death's Big Comeback MIDDLE EAST Renewed suicide bombing and the installation of a new Israeli hard-line coalition set back hopes for peace in the region. A member of the Palestinian group Hamas killed 15 people and injured 40 when he blew himself up on a bus in the port city of Haifa, the first such attack...
