From what I've seen of the discussion over whether or not the footage is from 1991, I believe the general consesus is that is the authentic response to the terrorist attack. One thing I heard is that one of the children is wearing a soccer jersey from someone who played in '95-'96. Second of all, there are reports that Yasser Arafat has ordered his police to break up any and all celebrations for the attack and ordered the police to prevent any media from covering it. Given that the media does not want to lose total access to the Palestinian territories, they've stopped reporting on it (notice it had gone away in the past few days?). Apparently Israel media is all over it but no one's picking it up. In the past I've had severe problems with the biased nature of Indymedia and I think this shows through yet again today; they don't do particularly good reporting (although there have been times when they've done better). I trust CNN on this one as they don't particularly have a motive to deceive and they are more reputable than that.
