A Palestinian gunman opened fire with an M-16 assault rifle at around 2:30 A.M. Tuesday, at a Tel Aviv steakhouse, injuring 13 people, Israel Radio reported.
The wounded were taken to Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv, Beilinson Hospital, Rabin Medical Center in Petah Tikva and Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer. Three people were seriously wounded, and one person was moderately injured.
According to initial reports, a policeman at the scene of the attack shot the gunman dead. The attack took place at Mifgash Hasteak which is located on Derekh Petah Tikva, a main Tel Aviv artery. Police initiated a search for possible accomplices. They said that there were no specific reports of attacks in the area
What?!? That can't be right. Ashleigh Banfield (MSNBC) made a big deal after her Arafat interview last month that only Israelis use M-16s, Palestinians use Kalashnikovs. And we know the media is always right on things like guns. < /sarcasm>
