JERUSALEM (CNN) -- An Israeli soldier opened fire inside a bus in Israel's northern Galilee region Thursday, killing four Israeli Arabs and seriously wounding five other people before he was killed, according to Israeli police.

Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon condemned the attack, calling it "a reprehensible act of a bloodthirsty Jewish terrorist who sought to attack innocent Israeli citizens."

"This terrorist event was a deliberate attempt to harm the fabric of relations among all Israeli citizens," Sharon said in a statement issued by his office.

An angry mob in the predominantly Israeli Arab town of Shfaram surrounded the bus shortly after the shooting.

Police spokesman Eran Feinmesser could not confirm Israeli media reports that the gunman was killed by the mob.

The shooting victims included the bus driver and a passenger, both residents of Shfaram.

Sharon's statement added: "The entire State of Israel, regardless of race, religion or sex, strongly condemns this act of terrorism.

"The government is determined to protect the lives of Israel's citizens, from all ethnic communities and sectors; I have instructed the security services to accord the highest priority to investigating this terrorist attack."

The Israel Defense Forces confirmed the shooter was an Israeli soldier.

Israeli television reported the soldier, a West Bank settler, went AWOL two months ago because he did not want to participate in removing settlers from Gaza and the West Bank as part of Sharon's disengagement plan.

let's see how easy they find it to control their own insurgents.
