An explosion went off late Friday among Israelis waiting in line outside a night club near Tel Aviv's beachfront promenade, and police reported some 30 casualties, including several dead. Israel Army Radio said the blast was set off by a suicide bomber, but police said the bomb might have been planted by assailants. The explosion shattered a Mideast truce declared earlier thsi month by Israel and Palestinian leaders. Police said the explosion went off outside the "Stage" club. There was no immediate claim of responsibility. The Tel Aviv promenade has been hit before by Palestinian militants, including explosions outside the Dolphinarium disco and Mike's Place, a popular pub. Dammit.
