Reuters: Suicide bombing wounds Israeli in W.Bank

TULKARM, West Bank (Reuters) - A Palestinian woman suicide bomber has blown herself up at an Israeli army checkpoint in the West Bank, wounding at least one Israeli, military sources say.

They said the attack took place near the Palestinian-ruled town of Tulkarm, close to West Bank boundary with central Israel.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, which appeared to be the work of Palestinian militants waging a three-year-old uprising for independence in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

The bombing followed a similar attack by a Palestinian woman who blew herself up in a restaurant in the northern Israeli port city of Haifa on Saturday, killing 19 people
