(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.
