(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel - Two soldiers and a Palestinian were wounded Thursday by a suicide bomber who blew himself up at the public reception offices of the District Coordination Offices at the entrance to Tulkarm, the office where Palestinians apply for permits to cross checkpoints on humanitarian grounds. One soldier sustained moderate to serious wounds. Brig.-Gen. Ilan Paz, head of the Civil Administration in the West Bank, said that bullet-proof glass in the reception area saved the lives of the soldiers behind the glass. The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, aligned with Fatah, claimed responsibility.
