Per FNC, Area frequented by recent immigrants, small shops... small explosion near theater entrance...

15 casualties according to FNC quoting Reuters...

Israeli Radio reporting 15 casualties (per FNC).

To add, you won't see the media questioning "Why" this bombing occured now. Since the only conclusion could be that Palies or other Arabs are reacting to Peace negotiations, it will be omitted and ignored.

[DJ88]

Yes, I saw that part...but I didn't need him screaming at me to make his point. I hate it when people scream on TV.

[DJ88]

So far, no one's claiming responsibility. Give it a few minutes.

Shep Smith really needs to get over himself today.

TV personalities are getting on my nerves today.

[ChadGore]

Thoughts and prayers to their families and loved ones.

[McGruff]

MSNBC reporting 2 dead.

But they are the same ones who reported 250 dead in that wedding party in Afghanistan recently.

We speculate you decide.

Its been a bad day all around. The body of the missing 5 year old was ID'd today, as well. God must be getting angrier by the minute.

[Dog Gone]

MSNBC mentioned the words "dozens of victims."

They also said that we killed "hundreds" in the recent Afghan wedding attack.

Ashlee Banshee on the way........finding Pali's whose sensibilities are injured by all the noise.

If I'd have been Pat, I'd have been yelling at that yahoo too. The guy was flat out lying. He said that he tried to keep his daughter out of this. Fact is he took his former wife to court in order to force his daughter's appearance against his former wife's and his daughter's wishes. I had seen him admit to that on Fox about an hour ago.

God bless the Israelis. Geez, what an awful world we live in.

Jerusalem Post doesn't have much more.

Terror attack in central Tel Aviv
By THE JERUSALEM POST INTERNET STAFF

An explosion was reported near the old central bus station in Tel Aviv, Israel Radio reported . A Magen David Adom representative confirmed that there were a large amount of casualties.

Police said that witnesses reported hearing two explosions on Neve Sheanan street. All roads leading to the area have been closed off to allow rescue workers to reach the scene of the explosion. Police sappers are searching the area for additional explosive devices.

The road is lined with food stalls and shoe shops and is usually full of people at all hours. It is also an area popular with foreign workers.

[DoughtyOne]

Well that's an accurate comment regardless of whether it applies here or not. We will see.

[CDHart]

"I hate it when people scream on TV."

So do I, and also on radio. I've ended up having to turn Sean Hannity's show off several times in the last few weeks, as his interviews quite frequently end in screaming matches with neither view being set forth coherently.
