CAROL LIN, CNN ANCHOR: Kenyan police and Israeli police are working together on the bomb investigation, but cracks are already developing in that relationship. Israel now wants to take evidence out of the country to be examined in Israel. CNN's Catherine Bond is on the scene in Mombasa.

CATHERINE BOND, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Day four of the investigation into the suicide bombing of the Israeli owned Paradise Hotel outside Mombasa. Israeli and Kenyan bomb experts unearthing what they believe were parts of the bomb used in the attack. A bomb made of explosive packed into two industrial gas cylinders -- the sort of gas cylinders sometimes used for wielding.

Investigators also finding the scorched barrel of an AK-47 assault rifle, plus the remnants of what appears to be its magazine and a mobile phone.

The attack here carried out shortly after the attempt to shoot down a civilian Israeli airliner with missiles fired from handheld rocket launchers. As Kenyan investigators reconstruct the vehicle that carried the bomb that killed its three suicide bombers and 13 victims, Israeli and Kenyan investigators in the heat of discussion over who will carry out further tests.

(on camera): Kenyan investigators say they want to hold on to the evidence they've gathered here, at least initially. But Israeli investigators are exerting pressure for the Kenyans to hand over the bomb fragments and rocket launchers in particular. The decision likely to be made at a political level now, by Kenya's president, Daniel Arap Moi.
