Suicide bomber injures at least 18 in Tel Aviv
A suicide terrorist detonated his charge in southern Tel Aviv at approximately 3:40PM, injuring 18 people. No one was killed in the attack, but one person is in moderate-to-serious condition.This certainly won't get Kadima many votes in that area, that's for sure. If anything, it shows that they're not making any genuine attempt at maintaining security.
The terrorist targeted the Shwarma Rosh Ha'ir fast food restaurant on the busy pedestrian mall located at the intersection of Neve Shaanan and Solomon Streets, near the old Central Bus Station. The location for the attack was carefully chosen, as it is especially crowded on Thursday afternoons. Many foreign workers, Russians, and Arabs frequent the area.
[...]
The area of the pedestrian mall has suffered from three terrorist attacks in the past.
Update: as many as 30 people were injured in the attack.
