(New York Times) Greg Myre and Dina Kraft - A Palestinian suicide bomber on Monday detonated his explosives at a restaurant in the Neve Shaanan section of Tel Aviv - an act that Hamas, which leads the new Palestinian government, called legitimate. Nine people were killed and sixty were wounded in the blast. The same restaurant was hit by a suicide bomber just three months ago on Jan. 19, injuring 20 Israelis. According to witnesses, a security guard at the entrance stopped the bomber and asked to see his bag. At that moment, the bomber detonated his explosives. Islamic Jihad released a video of the bomber, Sami Hammad, 21, from outside Jenin in the West Bank.
