Bombing in Tel Aviv kills 5
reuters: A suspected Palestinian suicide bomber killed at least five people at a sandwich stand in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv on Monday and wounded dozens more, medics said.
The bombing occurred near Tel Aviv's old central bus station. The ZAKA emergency service put the number of dead at six, including the bomber. The Magen David Adom ambulance service initially estimated the number of wounded at 30.
"It was a huge explosion. It was an unbelievable sight," Yossi Bar, a taxi driver, told Israel Radio.
The attack occurred as acting Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was in the middle of forming a coalition government and three weeks after the Islamic militant group Hamas took control of the Palestinian government. Link
