Three people die in explosion in Israeli mall

Occupied Jerusalem: A suicide bomber attacked a shopping mall in the southern Israeli town of Dimona on Monday, killing at least three people.

Police classified the attack as a "terrorist incident" that also wounded 10 others.

Israeli police said a Palestinian suicide bomber killed himself and at least one person and that a second bomber was shot dead before he could detonate his explosives belt.

"We heard a big explosion, and people began running," a shopowner who gave her name as Ravital told reporters. "I saw pieces of flesh flying in the air."

The Zaka emergency service said the body of a "terrorist" and an explosives belt were found at the scene in the desert town where Israel's top-secret nuclear reactor is located.

Dimona, which lies in the southern Negev desert, is the site of Israel's top-secret nuclear reactor.
