The United States would continue to work for the eventual creation of a Palestinian state despite a Palestinian suicide bombing in Israel Wednesday that left an Israeli policeman dead and several others injured, the White House said Wednesday.

"The president continues to believe that peace in the Middle East needs to be secured by the creation of Palestinian state, andthat Palestinian state must be based on democratic principles and have a government that represents its people," White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said.

"The president will continue to work diligently toward achieving that goal, and it remains important, and the president hopes that we can get back to the path of slow, quiet progress," he told reporters at a regular news briefing.

According to Israel Army Radio, the suicide attack took place at a bus stop at the Umm El Fahm Junction in the Northern Israel, where the bomber detonated himself after spotting several policeman.
