More to mourn: Last night's bombing in Tel Aviv:Two bombers blew themselves up seconds apart in downtown Tel Aviv last night, killing three civilians and wounding more than 40, police and witnesses said. The attacks occurred between a cafe and a theater in a rundown neighborhood where many foreign workers live, and Israeli radio said most of the casualties were from abroad.

The Islamic Jihad group took responsibility for the bombings, according to the Al Manar TV station in Lebanon. Israel blamed Yasser Arafat's Palestinian Authority. The suicide bombers were standing only 15 to 20 yards from each other when they set off the explosions in an area crowded with small shops and stalls, police said. (AP)
