Brave Attack

For the first time since the non-renewal late last year of a cease fire between Palestinians and Israelis, a suicide attack has occurred in Tel Aviv. The BBC says one killed (the bomber?) and 10 wounded, one seriously. Reuters says 22 wounded. Islamic Jihad is apparently admitting guilt. It looks to me like a case of so close, but so far away...

"All of a sudden a policeman came, he pulled him [the suspect] out, and started searching him," a man called Itzik, who was eating at a fast food stand nearby, told AP.

The suspect ran away and five minutes later the explosion was heard, he added.

Comments:
"The BBC says one killed (the bomber?)...."

The JPost headline is, "30 wounded, 1 seriously, in Tel Aviv suicide bombing. I'd say they take my view: the bomber isn't a casualty, he's just expended ordnance.
 
Oops, missed the close quote after "... bombing."

Sorry.
