Four killed in Tel Aviv suicide bombing
Four people have died after a suicide bombing ripped through a crowded marketplace in Tel Aviv this morning.
At 30 people were injured as a result of the attack on Carmel market, which has since been claimed by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
It has been reported that the bomber detonated 5kg of explosives inside a shop in the marketplace.
Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said he "utterly condemned" the bombing.
Mr Straw said: "My deepest sympathies go to the victims and their families. Acts of violence like this present enormous obstacles to moving the peace process forward. I call on both sides to fulfil their commitments under the roadmap, including for the Palestinian Authority to fully implement its security obligations."
The Palestinian president Yasser Arafat, who is currently receiving treatment for a serious illness in a French hospital, also condemned the bombing.
