  • Story Text: Two Palestinian suicide bombers blew themselves up in
    Tel Aviv on Wednesday, police said, in an attack that
    reporters at the scene killed around six people.



    At least 15 people were wounded in the blast in a
    run-down neighbourhood of Tel Aviv frequented by foreign
    workers.

    Israeli radio stations quoted reporters at the scene as
    saying they saw about six bodies lying on the ground. Two of
    them appeared to be those of the suicide bombers, they said.

    Israeli security forces have been on high alert for a new
    wave of suicide bombings by Palestinian militants. The Israeli
    army reoccupied seven Palestinian cities in the West Bank last
    month after 26 Israelis were killed in two suicide bombings.
