Bombing Kills At Least 19 in Tel Aviv

World | January 5, 2003, Sunday // 00:00

A double suicide bombing has killed at least 19 people and wounded 100 others in the Israeli coastal city of Tel Aviv. The explosions went off in quick succession in an area crowded with people, many of them foreign workers, at the end of the working day. Israeli police believe two suicide bombers - who were among the dead - were carrying as much as 10 kilograms of explosives each. The attack - which is reported to have been claimed by militants of Islamic Jihad and Hamas - was the first suicide bombing in Israel since November. There is no indication yet of what Israeli response can be expected, but the Israeli security cabinet is meeting to be followed by a full cabinet meeting.
